Great trade for the Browns. Move down only 6 spots and get a ton back. That 2017 1st rounder could be 15th or so.

It's not like whichever QB goes 2 was some guarantee either, especially with how shallow the Browns roster is.

Eagles fans not approving of it in the twitter replies.

Lol what

Great haul for the Browns who had no huge need to stay at #2 (much like the Titans).

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Great job, Browns.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Chips fault.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Great trade Browns.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Elliott to Cleveland (E4)

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Must suck to be Chase Daniel today.

Will be number 3 on depth chart.

 

[McOilbleeder]

Chase Daniels - highest earning 3rd string QB in NFL history.

 

[TNT87]

Nice trade for Cleveland.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Another absurd overpayment to trade up for QB in this draft

Good haul by Browns

What is Philly doing.....yikes.

Great job Browns. They can plug some holes on the team with those picks and get their QB next season if RG3 is a failure.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

LMAO.

Browns made a good trade?!??

Even though they'll probably draft busts with every pick cause Browns gonna Brown.

 

[Bourque7799]

Great trade for the Browns

It's just completely ridiculous, what teams are giving up to move into position. I hope Seattle trades down more than ever.

Great job Browns. They can plug some holes on the team with those picks and get their QB next season if RG3 is a failure.

I think they would've stayed had the Rams not traded up. They were likely targeting Goff. With him presumably off the board, they tank this year (2-14, 1-15 season coming up), and end up with a top pick next season and get a better batch of QB prospects to select from.

Add to that, they get an additional first next season, and other picks to help round out their team. This trade really sets them up going forth.

This would be a great deal for the Browns, if it wasn't for the fact they'll just do a bunch of Browns things to ensure the Browns will continue being the Browns

True. How's that haul from the Julio Jones trade?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

So....heard this from "a guy".

"Eagles want Elliott, traded up to beat the Cowboys to him"

 

[GKJ]

Why I'm not a fan of it. To make this move, I think the Eagles thing Wentz will play soon. Otherwise, that's way too much to give up to see no return for 2 years. QB's typically take their biggest leap between year 1 and 2. It's one thing to be a late 1st rounder like Rodgers was, but this is trading up, and the #2 pick in the draft. If the #2 pick can't get on the field in the Year 1, he isn't worth it.

I never thought I'd say this, but the Cleveland Browns made a good move.

This has Jeff Lurie written all over it. Been desperate for a franchise QB since McNabb left.
