Worked out pretty damn good for the Eagles. The Browns passing on Wentz before hindsight was dumb. http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2017/04/the_carson_wentz_trade_tracker.html Posted April 29, 2017 at 11:23 AM | Updated May 01, 2017 at 03:54 PM 223shares Comment Carson Wentz photo by The Associated Press Following the 2016 Browns-Eagles trade BEREA, Ohio – When the Browns drafted Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer in Friday’s second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, he became the ninth player tied to last year’s pre-draft trade with the Eagles. The trade – which fans might always remember for the Browns passing on the chance to draft Carson Wentz - originally resulted in the Browns giving up two picks in exchange for five from the Eagles. The Browns have traded four of those five picks, with a 2018 second-round pick the only one left untouched (as of now). Those five picks from the Eagles have turned into 10 additional picks via the four trades. The haul of picks the Browns have accumulated from the deal won’t end until the 2018 draft. So let's take a closer look at where the path from last year's trade has led. - By Scott Patsko, cleveland.com Carson Wentz photo by Joshua Gunter, cleveland.com Breaking down the 2016 deal Here’s a look at what each team got in the trade: Browns got 2016 first-round pick (No. 8) 2016 third-round pick (No. 77) 2016 fourth-round pick (No. 100) 2017 first-round pick (No. 12) 2018 second-round pick (TBD) Eagles got 2016 first-round pick (No. 2, Carson Wentz, QB) 2017 fourth-round pick (No. 139, traded to Vikings for No. 132, Donnell Pumphrey, RB)

McCarron is the most overrated QB to prove ZERO I have ever seen. I don't see the love affair with this guy? If he was better than Dalton he would have been starting no?

If the Browns Draft Barkley, Tyrod will be a decent fit and I can see them being a 8-8 team feeding Barkley over and over.

This 2x over

People don't understand playing to Foles strengths and that he is 29 years old which is basically a QB's prime where the timing and speed really are nailed down. Sign me up for Foles paired with Jackson or Rudolph all day. It's amazing how some fans think we are too good for a SB bowl MVP that just went toe to toe with GOAT and came out on top. Amazes me every time I read it honestly.

Foles paired with Jackson would be a great package IMO as well. Same Rosen or Mayfield is my A plan with McCown as bridge for 1 year. Foles paired with Jackson or Rudolph is my B plan. Not that it matters though lol, but would be ideal for me.

If we are trading up high for Rosen or Mayfield I would personally much rather bring in McCown to help groom our shiny new toy. Can prob sign him on a 7-10mill contract max and I feel he would be a great mentor with his 15 years experience around the league. IDK, I still want a competitive team next year and think we still can be with him. Let him take a pounding for a year while the rookie tries to learn the timing and speed of the NFL. We don't want to break the new guy.

Don't you want Moore than this?

You got me, I honestly have nothing to say to this.

Maybe on the Colts front that could happen. Reich is a smart dude and knows his team has way to many holes to fill right now. The smart move for them would be to trade back IMO. Giants are in the same boat if truly commited to Eli for the next 2-3 years. FA and draft day cannot get here soon enough. This is the weirdest offseason PRE-FA I have ever seen.

So they should have pissed away 6mill in cap and said screw the 1st pick in the 3rd? This is what a FO does to become a winner in the future.

Whatever Beane and McD decide I think I'll be OK with for the most part as I now trust the process after todays move. These guys are serious about getting a a QB to get us to the next level. Foles still has about 8 years in his tank and I'm cool with that as well but would like to see a Rudolph, Jackson or White to develop behind him. The NFL is about to open up a ton in the next 2-3 years as the following will most likely be gone - Brady, Ben, Eli, Rivers and Brees I want us to be 100% ready to go and make some serious noise.

With a long day gap to let 31 teams mouth water....

Honestly, my mind is spinning with options. I still would love to trade up and take Rosen or Mayfield. I'd also be happy with a Foles and Jackson pair as well. Great problems to have IMO right now and fun to chat about.

Barkley is not sliding to 4th pick. This TT deal helps a ton now as the only reason I seen the Giants or Colts staying at 2 and 3 was for a shot at Barkley. One, if not both teams trade out. Giants could possibly stay for QB but I doubt it. Browns will take him 1st overall now and most likely Allen at number 4.

Honestly, this would crush me....

Thanks and Bye TT.

I have a feeling Browns fans are actually pissed off and worried they will not draft a QB now.... I would be.

Disagree, We just got a top 3rd for Tyrod friggin Taylor. LMFAO to the bank....

It was prob both. top pick in the 3rd is no joke. 10 mill in cap can sign a really, really nice player. The plan was always to get a QB. I'm so glad we did not throw away 6mill in cap space as well.

They will prob send a 2nd and this 3rd for him. I'd be content as hell with Foles paired with Rudolph or Jackson

Watch him become a 50 catch receiver now.

Best thing about that pick is it is the 1st one of day 2. Teams will be calling to trade for it as their guy might have slipped.

I figured a 4th max honestly. Love the 10mill in cap space too. Watch we sign Cousins or Foles now and revamp our O and D line in the draft.
