    I just read a very interesting article about trading back with the Browns by Will Lomas. Very plausible and something worth discussing. I would change up the player selections, but would love the trade.

    "The spot that makes the most sense to me is pretty clear, that is the Cleveland Browns at pick 12.

    So, let’s walk though some of my thoughts here. Some people are saying that the Cleveland Browns really like Clemson QB Deshaun Watson. Likewise, other people are saying that they are hearing rumors that Mitch Trubisky is the guy for Cleveland.

    Either way, it seems like the Cleveland Browns are pretty solidly in the market for a QB. So, why is that a big deal. Well, in a recent “Ask 5” article from NFL insider Daniel Jeremiah, 5 anonymous front office people around the league all said that Myles Garrett is the clear favorite to be drafted with the top spot.

    So, if Garrett is the favorite for #1 overall despite the Browns QB interest, that means that they are going to try to get him with their second 1st round pick. The only problem is that they would have to hope that the New York Jets (and others) pass on their guy with the 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th picks in the draft.

    We also know that the Browns are probably not going to need all the picks they have amassed in the last two years, so if they really like one of the QBs you can bet that they are going to try to pull off what the Oakland Raiders did a few years ago when they got a blue-chip QB and EDGE player.

    There is an easy solution to all of this: trade with the Tennessee Titans. Using the standard draft trade value chart the math is pretty easy here on what it would take for the Browns to get the Titans 5th overall pick:

    Cleveland Browns get: 5th overall pick (their QB)

    Tennessee Titans get: 12th overall pick, 33rd overall pick (top of the 2nd round)

    Then everyone is all squared up. The Tennessee Titans get a little more value out of the deal, but they also are the Browns best chance at getting their QB. I would imagine that Hue Jackson will be very insistent this year that they give him someone to work with.

    So, to show you that dropping out of the top-5 is not catastrophic for the Tennessee Titans, here is a quick show of the haul I got using Fansided.

    Round 1, pick 12: Marshon Lattimore CB, Ohio State

    Round 1, pick 18: Derek Barnett EDGE, Tennessee

    Round 2, pick 33: John Ross WR, Washington

    Round 3, pick 83: Eddie Jackson S/KR, Alabama

    Round 3, pick 100: Corn Elder CB, Miami

    So that would dramatically change this class. They get a top CB, a talented edge rusher, a game changing WR, a safety who is dynamic in the kicking game, and an aggressive slot CB who can start immediately."

    we better get more for dropping 7 spots than the 12th and an early second.

    I mean, its the 5th overall pick.

    I assume we would get more, that only looked up through the 3rd round. My mock would look like this:

    Round 1, pick 12: Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan (Mike Williams if available)

    Round 1, pick 18: Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida

    Round 2, pick 33: Marcus Maye, S, Florida

    Round 3, pick 83: Jordan Leggett, TE, Clemson

    Round 3, pick 100: Elijah Qualls, DT, Washington

    That would be a dream draft.

    I like the idea myself. I think it would be very likely to get on of Davis or Williams, land a top CB at 18 and still have the 33rd pick and two 3rds. Hit it on 3-4 of those guys and the franchise transforms.

    Just throwing this out there but I saw one mock where the Panthers want to move up to draft Fournette... 5 to 8. The reason I bring this up is UNLESS the 1 or even on of the 2 guys we want are there we could still trade back. According to an article on ESPN JRob made a comment during a presser about and paraphrasing here, but don't expect the Titans to pick at 5 or 18. He may be churning the waters early and hoping for a cache of picks this year and next. And while mocks are fun and all, after the first few picks things rarely fall how they are expected. The Browns may not feel this QB class has a Dak, a Marcus or a Brady and may consider Garrett and Fournette as the better move hoping to pick up a QB in FA to place hold until next year. Honestly, that's how I would play it if I were them but I'm not paid the big bucks to evaluate NFL teams.

    I heard we may get another third from the Rams as they will be awarded a comp pick for janoris. Could be additional ammo to move around.

    No doubt, that is the scenario I"m looking for something exactly like what you spelled out, if we can move to 12 and pick up 33 without throwing in the Rams 3 to move up then we have a shot at 3 elite players, plus 2 guys that can really help us by mid season if not sooner....this team would be completely transformed with what you have there....people have to keep in mind there is no Jalen Ramsey in this draft for us to take at 5 if there was, then that would be a no brainer

    It was already a sure thing. The questions was it going to be their 3rd round pick or the 3rd round compensatory pick. Compensatory pick it is.

    Trading back to 12 is a risk for me. I personally want to walk away with:
    -Myles Garrett
    -Jonathan Allen
    -Jamal Adams*
    -Malik Hooker
    -Reuben Foster*
    -Mike Williams
    I don't think we can land one of these guys at #12...
