Cleveland Browns
As we have seen from this interesting front office since it took hold last year, the Browns have not been afraid to go away from the grain. It’s led to the team compiling a stock of draft picks that is the envy of the league. That was only magnified just recently when Cleveland picked up a 2018 second-round pick from Houston in order to take on Brock Osweiler and his salary (more on that here).
All said, Cleveland boasts two picks in each of the first two rounds this season, including the first and 12th overall picks. It also has three picks in the second round next year. That’s a whole heck of a lot of capital.
While we’re expecting the Browns to stand pat and pick up Myles Garrett No. 1 overall next month, there’s surely a scenario where the team could move the second of its first-round picks. It would likely be to trade down in the first round as a way to acquire an additional Day 2 pick (preferably a second rounder).
Teams such as the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints may see a quarterback to their liking, only to call Cleveland up about a potential trade. This would enable one of these squads to have a future franchise quarterback behind its current Hall of Fame-caliber signal caller.
