Right now, it sounds like the Browns will be keeping the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. Browns GM John Dorsey says he has not received any legitimate trade offers for the top choice (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Steve Wyche). Meanwhile, he claims that he is keeping the identity of the No. 1 pick under wraps
“I haven’t even told my wife,” Dorsey said.
Since 1990, the No. 1 overall pick has been traded just six times before draft day. The most recent occurrence took place in 2016 when the Rams acquired the top choice in the draft in order to select quarterback Jared Goff. The Rams are happy with how things turned out, though the Titans did come away with four starters as a result of that deal in running back Derrick Henry, wide receiver Corey Davis, tight end Jonnu Smith, and offensive lineman Jack Conklin.
Teams have almost certainly engaged in trade talks with the Browns regarding the top pick, but it’s a tricky calculation for any club. The Browns are ostensibly asking for a lot and, so far, no one is willing to meet that sticker price.
Howie offers two firsts and two seconds (no 2nds this year obviously) and takes Barkley. Everyone hates Philly even more and Meek Mill takes a private helicopter to announce the pick.
So #32 this year, another late first next year and 2nd round picks in 2019 and 2020 gets you the #1 pick? It’s nice to dream…that’s probably not enough to move into the top 10 let alone number 1. There is no realistic way for the eagles to make that jump when teams with better capital could have made that move (bills for starters)
Very clearly joking. But the pick was never even available. For some unreasonable amount sure, but it’s the same as Foles. They were never going to let him go unless it was a mother load. The fourth pick is more obtainable.
Barkley at 1
Chubb at 4
Trade 2 2nds and next years 1st to 49ers for #9 draft Lamar Jackson or Rosen if he falls.
Lol at Lamar…..they don’t need WRs
Lamar is a qb, has the arm strength and speed can sit behind Tyrod for a couple years and study the xo’s.
Rosen might fall also
Isn’t it time for that crapola of a franchise to quit screwing their fans and just start taking good football players?
No real difference between Darnold, Allen, Mayfield, or Rosen. All are mid-to-late 1st grades.
