I agree. I'm sure the Browns would leak fake news just to sweeten up a trade. There's always that one team that is willing to deal a lot of picks to move up.
Shoot say they pass and Garrett falls to us? Do we use that leverage to trade back? IMHO I would. Especially given the fact that we need a lot of bodies. A lot of holes to fill.

I wouldn't trade back, I'd just take Garrett. Sometimes you got to take quality over quantity.

Yup, you take Garrett without even blinking!!!

zone goes into MELTDOWN!!!!

The Browns appear to be looking to trade down and are hoping some team is in love enough with one of those prospects to give up several draft picks for the right to select them. I don't expect anyone to bite and that Cleveland will ultimately be taking Garrett at #1 just as expected.

unfortunately, this will be the end result. I don't see how even the Browns would take Trubisky over Garrett.

Although... we can dream right im right there with ya mayo!

Chargers might be in play to move up for Thomas/Allen/and probably the best pick for them,Hooker. They need someone like him in the back end to strengthen their entire nice unit they have brewing,

I like Hooker at 2 if we don't draft Thomas instead but trading up to draft a safety #1 overall is insanity....even if it makes perfect sense.

Jets maybe looking to move Sheldon Richardson on draft day.

Would we be interested in swapping 1st round picks with the Jets? Potential haul makes my mouth water:

Sheldon Richardson +
#6 Derek Barnett
#34 Best QB or EvanEngram

or

Sheldon Richardson +
#6 Mitch Trubisky
#34 Best Edge rusher: Jordan Willis/Charles Harris etc

I don't understand the love affair with Richardson. Not only is he overrated but he's a knucklehead and he's looking to get paid. There's a reason the Jets are willing to move him.

That said I put a lot of stock in Michael Lombardi's tweet from yesterday.

We won't draft Fournette

Garrett, Thomas or Hooker or trade down.

There is always a reason for anyone to move on. Some people just need a change of scenery. I'm not saying he will be a great fit but whats the harm in bringing him in if the price isn't high?

I want to see the Browns fans reaction on draft day when their team picks Trubisky at #1.

They would probably love the pick no doubt. Not only is he the hometown kid who grew up a Cleveland fan, they finally get a franchise QB they all been waiting for.

According to Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline, the 49ers are "ready to give up" on Carlos Hyde due to his struggles with injuries.
Hyde has missed 14 games through three seasons, including 12-of-32 the past two years. He is now entering a contract year under a new front-office regime. It's possible the 49ers don't see Hyde's power-back skill set as a fit for new coach Kyle Shanahan's zone scheme. Hyde is also one of the NFL's least effective pass-catching backs. If Pauline's report is accurate, the 49ers could consider shopping Hyde for a middle-round pick on draft weekend.

This is going to be like when Bush was slated to go #1 overall and Mario Williams came on late and was the Texans pick.

Browns analytics show Garrett has great stats in the first 4 innings but after that his batting average and on base % go to zero, pass.
