Mason Rudolph is an option.

At 12 or 23?

I'm guessing 23.

Giants will take Barkley at 2. 

  As great as he is, he isn’t worth multiple 1st and 2nd round picks. He is still a RB. CLE has plenty of picks. They need players. Now. Giants need multiple players, especially OL.

That's such a steep price to pay for a difference of 1 win in record.  I guess this just shows that tanking is much more rewarding in NFL than any other sport.

There's a "Christmas Carol" type story in there somewhere.

God bless us all, everyone.

They do have multiple needs, but Gettleman doesn't like trading down.

I would if I were him, but whether he does or not is another story.

23 -- Or even a trade up in the second--

I'm pretty sure if it's about the Browns, the last line of the story is probably not "God bless us", but "God help us".

Damn, maybe Colts think Browns are taking Chubb #1 now. Although that’s tremendous value to only drop 3 spots.

Rudolph is a local kid I like, and if Voth is right about the Panthers looking for Newton's eventual successor this year, I'd certainly be in favor of picking him. Heck I'd even go as high as our second rounder for him.

I don't really see any scenario playing out where we get him, though.

There’s a decent chance they still could get him.

That's a ridiculous haul for 3 spots imho. If it were offered to me, I'd take all that booty all day, every day.

That's an option, but which position is more likely to have a good quality player available later?

I'm in agreement with Tony Grossi on this one. The Browns have been too bad for too long at quarterback to let their top choice slip by.

Granted, this is the Browns were talking about, so even if they do take a quarterback at number one there's still a pretty good chance they're going to screw it up.

I'm not a big fan of getting away from your draft board. Barkley should be far and away the best prospect on the board. Is the gap between the QBs bigger than the gap between Barkley and your QBs? If you get what I'm saying, because I feel like I'm having trouble explaining it.

Some people think Eli was not the issue in NY last season and still has 3 years or so left in him.

So, would be Gmen move down to 5 w Denver if Denver wants to get ahead of the Jets?

No, I get what you mean. I just think more along the lines of what MHS was saying.

Think of it this way: If you were choosing between a combo of Drew Brees and Chris Ivory vs a duo of Le'Veon Bell and Blake Bortles, who are you taking?
