Sitting pat at #3 could mean you lose the player you want and suddenly no one wants to move up to #3 and let you out of paying huge money to a guy you're not really excited about.

Perfect explanation on why Cleveland wants to make the move....
I think too much Romeo - Weiss connection to believe that Cleveland wants to trade up to secure Adrian Peterson.
