I've been screaming to trade up from 26 for months. It makes sense in this draft class, and the team is already looking good with talent on the roster, just need a few important position to get over the hump.
I'd deal 26 and next years first, but definitely not a Washington type deal. Considering the Browns have picked top 10 the last some odd years, I'm sure there would be interest with those two first rounders.
Sent from your nearest liquor store.
A king's ransom to move up 2 spots? I doubt that.
Why would that even be discussed here. It would never happen.
Man, is everyone drunk? No way we could get 2 and 4. It would take 2-3 1sts 2-3 seconds. What would it take for you to trade #4?
No one is saying it's going to happen..
You're drunk if you think it'd take 3 1sts and 3 2nds. A sure fire franchise QB isn't in this draft, and the price for that was "only" 3 1sts and 1 2nd.
First off I never said it would take 3, 1sts and 2nds, I said two to three. Also, that trade included a top 5 pick! So that alone had a ton of value. I would assume/hope that if were able to keep # 4 and got # 2, that none of the future pics owed would be top 5 let alone top 10.

A few QB's 40 times from this year:
Logan Thomas, Virginia Tech - 4.61
Stephen Morris, Miami - 4.63
Connor Shaw, South Carolina - 4.66
Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M - 4.68 (4.56 u)
Derek Carr, Fresno St. 4.69 (4.65 u)
Jordan Lynch, Northern Illinois - 4.76 (4.72 u)
Tajh Boyd, Clemson 4.84 - (4.75 u)
Blake Bortles, Central Florida - 4.93 (4.81 u)
AJ McCarron, Alabama - 4.94 (4.91 u)
Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois - 4.97 (4.93 u)
40 time for a QB is as important as pitch speed for a DH in baseball. Running QB's are different yes, thats understandable.
Some ability to move around in the pocket and avoid the rush is certainly important in the NFL. Look at Weeden in the face of pressure for proof. I've been saying since week four or five that there isn't a definite franchise QB in this draft, but there are a few who may learn to be one in a few years. Knowing that none of these guys has the speed to be a legit running QB cements it.
