Browns Trade up to #3

Wasn't aware of that. That's huge and expains why they did this deal.

I bet their next pick in Rd 1 is Kendall Wright. I still believe if Colt McCoy has some weapons, whick he will now, can be a very solid QB.

Move had to be done, IMO.

Browns love Richardson and had the picks . So they did what they had to do. I believe the Bucs would have moved up to 3 to pick him.

Richardson reminds me of - gasp - Earl Cambell. I know those are big words, but I think he can be special for 5 or 6 years at least.

I like the move.

Perhaps... he looks like he can be a Wes Welker type slot receiver...

Spielmann did a superb job of extortion.

Cleveland competes in the AFC-North where it's been rumored it snows in Nov/Dec. They felt they hadda have Richardson and had a surplus of picks to work with anyway. So they bit the bullet and pre-empted any other Richardson suitor.

Good job on both sides.

4th Round, 5th Round, 7th Round

Dayum! Too much to move up one spot. Still, if they didn't, they wouldn't have had the player they wanted; Tampa would have taken him.

Hardly 'dumb' - they got the guy seen by some as the best player in the draft. They had 13 picks and gave up nothing in the first three rounds.

They didn't trade the picks to move up 1 spot - they traded the picks to get the guy they wanted, and got him.

Good point.

Best player in the draft. Great move
