No rather keep it. You can get good players still in the 3rd and 4th. 

 

Dont wanna pull another Devin Funchess move.

Could also trade our 1st for Joe Thomas/Staley, and those teams' 2nd and 3rd.  The Browns would still have 12 overall picks and 3 in the top 15 if so.  We'd then have Thomas/Staley and 5 picks on day 2.  Just a thought.

Joe Staley makes more sense. His contract isn't too bad. SF is just asking too much. I think a 2nd or really a 3rd is the market value. I mean Chandler Jones who is only 26 and one of the best pass rusher was traded for a 2nd and a crappy player. 

I would rather have Haden than Thomas. A low 1st or 2nd would be Thomas value. Cam Robinson or Ramczyk would cost a whole lot less. The real talk between the Browns would be to see if they want to trade up so we could trade down and add picks.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
