Did The Browns Do The Worst Trade Ever?

The Cleveland Browns, according to multiple reports, have moved up one spot in the draft, giving Minnesota their first-, fourth-, fifth- and seventh-round picks to do so

all that for one spot, to a team who already had a stud RB and were going for OT all the damn time? lmao!

they were worried TB would possibly trade up for Richardson I guess

I thought it was a horrible move but I can't decide if which of their 1st round picks was worse

giving up 3 picks to move up one spot and take a RB #3 overall.... or taking a QB that'll be 29 this season and still needs time to develop with their other 1st

Browns continue to be the Browns, what else can you say

the way the browns see it they got their franchise RB and franchise QB in one hour on Thursday night.

the tape on that QB is outstanding and they can still get two contracts out of him even at 28.

They desperately needed Trent Richardson and there were multiple teams looking to move ahead of them.

Yeah, as others have said, this was a pick to make 100% sure that no one would trade with Minny. I bet the Vikings were on the phone with Cleveland saying "We have multiple trade partners, we are going to give you a chance to move up"

But if I'm Cleveland, I draft Tannehill at 4 or trade down to take him and wait until 22 and get either take David Wilson or Doug Martin, or trade down to take Wilson or Martin, just because it's a QB driven league and Colt McCoy sucks.

I think quite the opposite.

They desperately wanted Richardson and they knew that TB (especially) would try to jump them by trading to Minny. The trade protected them from the Vikings trading the pick to someone else...not from the Vikings taking Richardson.

Taken that way it was actually a very good trade.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
