Cleveland Trading Up?

[InmanRoshi]

Cleveland's 2nd and 3rd picks are almost a perfect point value fit for #22.

And another thing. When we traded down with the Bills in 2004, we moved down 21 spots, got their 2nd, 5th in 2004, and their first in 2005. It's happened before. It's not "completely" or "utterly unrealistic." Take your rolling eyes to someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Let's just see how it plays out. Like I said, I just see it differently. It doesn't seem at all likely to me - but I could be wrong. I can admit that.

Our #22 is only worth 780 points. Clevelands 2nd and 3rd equal 805.

25 points is nothing. There was a 100 point difference in the Jets/Carolina trade.

You can't expect to move up for "equal value." If you're trying to move up, I'm of the opinion you should make them pay. They're coming to you after all. There has to be an incentive for us to give up our spot, and equal value doesn't do it for me.

A GREAT point many (including those on TV) over look.

It has to include the next year picks. We already have too many picks this year.

Heck, I would do our #22 for whoever No.1 and No.2 next year. Henry/TO/Glenn/Adams could be gone after this season and we need high picks to replace them.

We're sitting pretty here guys, as long as JAX doesn't trade the pick. Remember, its not just the browns that are interested in Quinn, other teams are interested too. Even KC will be interested.

We will trade this pick, guaranteed !!!!!! Hopefully we can fleece someone.

Yup, I just don't see any way we'll hang onto our own pick at #22, we'll be going down.

The only option to trading down that I could see is Branch plugging the middle. Beyond that - trading down just makes too much sense IF Detroit or Cleveland will pull the trigger.

With 10 minutes left on the Dallas pick I predict Dallas trades with Cleveland for their 2nd and 3rd overall. Might even get an extra 7th out of them if Cleveland is desperate but I doubt it.
