20/20: Would you have traded Tredavious White for Browns' #4 pick?


Recommended Posts

My understanding is this would never be considered by the team with the pick (in this case Cleveland)

 

I feel like teams would value the fact that you get an extra year on the rookie deal of a hopefully equally talented player.

Clearly the biggest surprise of Round #1 was the Browns pick #4 going for Denzel Ward instead of Bradley Chubb. Chances are the Browns were still hoping for Barkley but basically knew they were getting Ward the moment the GIants made the Barkley pick. If we had known the Browns were looking at CB at #4 (it has been widely reported they wanted a CB to allow Garrett to get to the QB), would you be willing to trade Tredavious White for the #4 pick? Not that I am not high on White (I think he will make the Pro Bowl this year if he stays injury free).

 

Why for the Browns: White is closer to a sure thing than Ward and still has three years on the rookie scale (at a lower salary than #4).

Why for the Bills:  1. Guaranteed to get Josh Allen  2. Would have likely gotten WARD at #12 and likely still gotten Edmunds for #22 and #65 at 16. So Bills end up with Allen, Ward and Edmunds instead of Allen, White and Edmunds. All things equal,  I prefer the latter - but remember in this trade Bills get to keep their 2 #2s and get an extra year on the rooki scale for their CB. So would you rate Ward, #53 and #56 as higher than Tre' White?

 

Clearly Bills had interest in Ward - they even hosted him at OBD.  

 

Basically it comes down to would you rather keep your late first round pick and 2 number 2's and pick up the 4th pick in the draft for White.   I think it makes a lot of sense.  We could have grabbed Edmonds at 12 and then had him and Allen, now you got more solid picks to trade up or stay for a corner or whatever else you want to do to build the team.  

Bills get #4 pick (Allen)                           Bills trade T. White

Bills get Edmunds at #12                       Bills keep late first round pick and both #2's

No.  Imo Ward is the most overrated player in the draft.  Lattimore's success got Ward overdrafted.  Hes an athlete not a great corner.  White is a better all around player.  He is the best defender on the roster.  A couple second rounders are not more important than a top 10 corner.

The Browns would have wanted draft capital also.  No way i am trading White.

NO WAY...

He's going to be 'the or one of' the best CB for a long time, he'd be making 10+ mil a year right now,  we got him for 4 more years at cheap. 

And he seems great in locker room and like a really good dude overall..

Absolutely not. He's our best player after shady. And brownies wouldn't make that trade either cause they're stupid

I motion for mods to ban any thread about giving up Tre lol. Even if it's Tre for Rodgers. I'm in love with Tre.

 

I'll make a Savior Tre bot account

WHAT?????

NOOOOOOOOOOO.  

 

This is where you go:  "Is this even a real thread?" because what is being suggested is just so absurd and puzzling its hard to think someone would have actually considered what is being asked.  

 

LMAO at this thread.

White and a 2 for #4 

 

Can we trade you as a thread creator for 2 combo #4's at McDonalds?  I would do that deal in a heartbeat.  To bad no one would pay that much though and its as absurd as this thread.
