Man the Browns are doing a version of the process at this point. They have picked 3 first round guys and have 2 first round picks next year and 3 second rounders. They still have 7 picks this year including a 2nd rounder even though they moved up into the first round.

I like what the Browns are doing. They are building a team like you should. It will all come down to if they can find a QB. I think they will be looking at a top 5 pick again next year, but that is okay. I am surprised they have no moved Joe Thomas yet, to be honest.

One thing I wonder is if the Bears called them. I would have traded down for that package.

I think they have been smart not moving Joe Thomas. They have a bunch of picks already and LT seems nearly as valuable as a good starting QB. If they don't get a good enough offer keep him because you never know when you might find your QB and you want to protect him from getting hurt.

True enough, but how old is he?

32 and signed for 2 more years at under 9 million a year which at this point is a freakin bargain. What if they find the next Dak or Wilson or whatever in this draft? Or maybe it's Kessler?

In the NFL you can rebuild ridiculously quickly if you make the right moves you never know what could happen. I'm not suggesting it will happen but I get why you would keep a stud LT just in case especially if the offers aren't good enough.

I was just thinking Greenbay could go with Cook. He would fill a need and would be a great additon to their team.

I dont think anyone has made the Browns a fair offer on Joe yet.

Dalvin Cook after trading up. Not sure what we gave up to move up 7 spots.

Looks like we gave up the 128th pick that is a 4th rounder.

That's the pick they got from the dolphins.

Cook from what i remember reading is a ready good player and it pretty versatile. Cincy takes Mixon.
