Would you have traded our first for Trent Richardson?

Demarco Murray - Already on the team.

Until the team shows commitment to the run, it would be asinine to devote a first round pick to another running back.

This poll is humorous. I mean, the outcome of the poll.

 

[Tabascocat]

Yea, lets ignore lineman and safeties with a #1 pick next season. RB's and TE's, there's the ticket.

I can see where some teams would do this trade(in a better position with less needs and no RB) but Dallas is in no shape to throw away early picks when there are more important positions of need. Even if Trent is > Demarco, it is not by much at this point in their careers.

 

[waving monkey]

the complaint this and other boards have is that we spend our resources on skill positions and not on
the trenches. This draft we're surly going Dline and maybe Oline. Trent would not change our fortunes
nearly enough compared to a kick *** rush line man.

A 1st for a RB? No way. Colts overpaid.

A 1st for a RB? No way. Colts overpaid.

Not to mention they have a brutal schedule (den, sea and sf in the next 5 weeks) and are not lighting the world on fire. Their pick could end up being a high one.

Nope. Richardson at 3.4 a carry this year and DeMarco is at 3.5.

That all looks good on the surface but the Browns have had absolutely nobody on the outside to prevent teams from stacking the box and focusing on Trent. Josh Gordon comes back this week... other than that they have nobody with Weeden throwing to them. I wouldn't make the trade, but Trent is better than Murray.

Honestly never thought about it till u said it and I kinda like it

 

[T-RO]

I guess you've been impressed with Richardson's 3 yards a carry? I just don't see why anyone even invests in running backs in the 1st round anymore. .

End of discussion, IMO.

Wish people would realize this is a team sport and looking at stats alone only tells you part of the story.

Since we have already devoted a lot of resources to the position this deal wouldnt fit our team, but that doesn't mean its a bad deal. For the Colts situation, this was a great deal.

 

[Nightman]

Suck for Luck worked for Indy, maybe Sell for Manziel will work for Cleveland.

 

[CalCBFan]

Think Tampa Bay would trade us Darrell Revis for Mo Claiborne?...

 

[Wolfpack]

I'd trade for another Tight End. No need for RB's actually if you dont want to run the ball anyway.

^This. Trent's former team sucks. He goes from loser to winner in a blink of an eye.

Does Joe Thomas come with Trent Richardson too?

 

[IrishAnto]

Does Joe Thomas come with Trent Richardson too?

That might be a deal worth doing.

 

[9darter]

I wouldn't even trade the 2014 second round pick for Richardson.

 

[TheFinisher]

Luck/Richardson could be Peyton/James all over again. Most RBs aren't worth giving up a 1st Rounder but Richardson is a stud who's going to beast in that offense for a long time.

I have no idea what Cleveland is thinking and feel bad for their fans, Richardson was one of the only things they had going for them.

 

[XDez88BeastX]

No, the only players I'd drop 1st on is Gino Atkins, Gerald McCoy, Henry Melton or Nkadomakuh Suh. That's it.... Well JJ watt too

 

[big dog cowboy]

No way I'd make that deal for the Cowboys. We are not one player away and if we were it sure wouldn't be a RB.
