Simon Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Thoughts? Seems like a heavy price to pay. While I understand them wanting to prevent anybody from jumping in front of them to snag their guy, that's just a fool-ass move, imo. I guess that's why they're the Browns.... Edit: Now that we know it's a 4,5 and 7 I don't see anything wrong with it. Good exchange for both teams
jjmac Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Too rich for my blood. I hope Buddy does not trade up with anyone.
Beerball Posted April 26, 2012 Author Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) I read 4,5 and 7... NFLN was scrolling a 2 and 7 but I coulnd't find anything in writing (anything to link to). But who knows, ESPN is reporting that they are trying to get a 3rd first rounder, no mention of this trade. (ESPN blog 11 minutes ago) Edited April 26, 2012 by Beerball

Lurker Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Polian says its a good deal for both teams. Sad to see Bill losing it....
K-9 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) You have 13 picks in the draft, including the 4th and 22nd in the first round. You spend a 4,5, and 7 to absolutely guarantee nobody BUT you is going to get the player you want the most. How is that a bad deal for Cleveland? They had the extra capital to spend AND still have the 22nd pick in the draft. I'm with Polian. It's a good deal. GO BILLS!!! Edited April 26, 2012 by K-9

I agree with the trade analysis, I'd just never draft a RB that high in this era

Doc Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 As I said, the Jets would have to offer a ton to move up 14 spots. And apparently Jim Brown isn't a fan of Richardson and called him "an average RB."
Malazan Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I don't think you give up that much for any RB. specially not if your Cleveland. Good Luck surviving, Richardson.

One of those three guys they give up will likely be a very good player, as would have been the 4th pick had they stood pat. As always, time will tell...

Time will tell, but if they do go with Richardson I'll be happy to see our D-line welcome him to the NFL in week 3. Edited April 26, 2012 by The Wiz
