Tipster19 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 They could get their QB of choice and get Barkley. They most certainly have the draft capital to do it. Maybe Giants would be interested in that especially if the Bills were willing to trade with them for that #4 pick. The Giants would get massive draft compensation if they wanted to do something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Giants would be interested in that especially if the Bills were willing to trade with them for that #4 pick. The Giants would get massive draft compensation if they wanted to do something like that. I will play along. Why would Cleveland want to trade up to #2 from #4. ANSWER --> So Cleveland would have the best QB and non QB (on their board) in the draft. # 1 - Cleveland - Quarterback # 2 - New York Football Giants - take QB, take a non QB, trade the pick. Those are the only 3 options. Regardless if NYG selects QB or trade the pick it will be a QB. The last option is they stay there and take the pick of Chubb, Nelson, Barkley, etc. I would think Chubb and Barkley are in play. I really only think Chubb is the only non QB option for NYG. --> So, 67% chance a QB is selected at #2 # 3 - New York Jets - Quarterback # 4 - So, quick math (may or may not be correct) 0% non QB at #1, 33% non QB at #2, 0% non QB at #3 = 33% divided by 3 = 11% chance top non QB is still available. Also, if a non QB is selected by the NYG at #2 IMO it is only Chubb or Barkley. So, divide 11% by 2 players = 5.5% --> So, 5.5% chance if the Cleveland Browns want Chubb or Barkley at #4 they will still be there without trading and selecting at #4 In conclusion, I don't think Cleveland would want to trade assets to move from #4 to #2 for those odds. But, depends on their grading of Chubb or Barkley. I don't think Barkley should be selected there for so many reasons. So, depends on the NYG and Browns grades on Chubb!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barkley is there at 4 and I was the Browns I would not want Barkley. If I am a Browns fan I wouldn't want Barkley. I think Barkley will fall in this draft. But, I don't think he should be a top 5 pick either. I think about his talents vs other in the NFL at RB during draft time and think of two comparisons for draft position. Adrian Peterson and Ezekiel Elliott. Not comparing the players styles, but, the value. They are the only two that have warranted a top 10 pick in a long time (and both worked out for their drafted position). It takes a different type of team these days to even consider taking a RB in the top of the 1st round. So, here are the only teams I can see drafting Barkley............ Cleveland - not at #4, if they trade down and have multiple non QBs that interest them Indianapolis - at #6. Would pair well with Andrew Luck. I think Colts need sooo much more. I think they trade down again Tampa Bay - at #7. If QBs are still there the market to trade up may be strong. I think Tampa Bay trades back San Fran - at #9. I think this is where Barkley gets drafted PICK #12 - If the Bills trade up, this is another spot Barkley could get drafted by the teams above Just some thoughts. I think Barkley goes between #6-12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then getting their QB at 2 or 3 and still having #4. A lot of rumors this time of the year. But, this is interesting to me. Who would want this rumor to start. If Cleveland is selecting a QB then nobody can really change that. So, they pick a QB at #1. The only team that would want to start this rumor would be Cleveland to drive up the price to trading up to #1. So, IF the rumor is true, that would mean Cleveland doesn't have a #1 choice for QB OR they think their choice for QB isn't high on others list. I don't think it is option #2 because Dorsey was brought in to get his QB. So, no matter where they grade them all I would think they take their #1 choice at #1 unless they don't love any of them. Does Dorsey not see any separation in some of the top QBs or just LOVE CHUBB or another non QB? This is interesting to me.......or just blowing smoke! Regardless, this is setting up to be the most exciting first round in a very long time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 What if.... - Once position player start to slide teams that DON'T need a QB trade up to nab them while they can. A team like the Raiders jumping to 4 to snatch Chubb/Nelson from the Broncos. - A team that no one thought of moved up to take a QB...much like KC did last year. - We get the 5th QB off the board and it turns out he becomes the best pro QB? - We get the 1st QB off the board and he flops? - We sit at 12 and have the chance to pick a guy touted as a future HoF OG has slid down the draft? - The first 3 and 5 of the first 6 picks are QBs? - What if the Giants and Broncos both pass on QBs because they feel upgrades to a different position and someone like Mike White in the 2nd are better for them? - What if every trade up opportunity we have is not a trade that makes the team better in Beane's eyes? Point being on draft night anything can happen, and likely several things will happen that no one saw coming. All the guesswork from members of this and other fanbases as well as the "expert opinions" are likely to be out the window very early when the unexpected can and does happen. One of my favorite quotes goes something like "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." Let's hope when the punches start to get thrown out staff can readapt their plans into something that make this draft a successful one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes all the sense in the world. The Browns already have a better than decent RB. What they don't have is Joe Thomas. If I am them, spending big on a rookie QB, I do everything I can to shore up the O line. But we shall see. This is the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Think of who the GM is now... Dorsey. Last year with KC he traded up to get Mahomes, didn't worry about a RB until Rd3 and found Hunt. He came to Cleveland to get a QB, not saying he wouldn't take Barkley at 4 if he's there, but I wouldn't be surprised if he passed on Barkley still at 4 with what they already have at RB and took Chubb if available, or maybe Nelson or Fitzpatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Trading from 4 to 2 would be monumentally stupid - like 2017 Chicago Bears stupid. If the Giants are taking Barkley/Chubb at 2, they're not going to trade. If the Giants don't take Barkley/Chubb at 2, one or the other will still be there at 4. The Jests are taking the wrong QB at 3. There is no universe where trading to 2 makes any sense for the Browns, short of irrationally panicking that the Giants are going to trade out of 2 to a team that wants whatever player they're targeting (which, again, would be monumentally stupid, as no one is likely going to trade from 5+ up to 2 for Barkley or Chubb.) Even assuming that someone leaped into 2 and picked one, the Browns still get either the best RB or the best pass rusher at 4, without wasting picks to move up.

dlonce Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) What if? I do not see the logic in that trade scenario. They are going QB at 1, The Giants are either taking a QB or trading to a team that needs a QB. The Jets are taking a QB,so they would still get Barkley at 4. Barkley’s a good player but RBs are a dime a dozen in this league. Don’t be surprised to see Barkley drop down the board a little. What happens,happens. If the Bills can make a trade they will. There’s not a whole bunch they can do. The Giants are likely taking a QB anyway. Cleveland will likely stay with their two picks, unless we offer them a huge deal, even then it might not be possible because they have way too many picks this draft. The Broncos are the key here. If they do not want a QB then we may be able to deal with them. If the Broncos take a QB then we are kind of screwed, unless they take Rudolph or Jackson. Indys pick is probably in play as well. There’s little our team can do unless teams are willing to move back,then we have ammo against a trade up against Miami and Arizona. I think we easily win that battle. If by some chance the Giants go to 4,then we might be able to pry that pick from them but I just don’t think it will happen.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 If the Giants plan to take a QB, really doubt they'd want to select after their rival Jets and be accused for years to come of getting the Jets leftovers. On the other hand they'd love to be in the position of taking the guy the Jets were rumored to want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
