I'll be damned. The Browns make a smart football move. So the Eagles will draft who is left after the LA Rams draft Goff/Wentz?

Sort of blows up the talk at the beginning of the year that this years draft would be boring with the mediocre QB prospects.

Smart move by the Browns.

That is the first time I’ve ever said that.

There's still hope, they haven't picked yet! That said, Eagles paid a BIG price for moving up 6 spots. Winners in the deal will get the defensive studs that fall to 3-5 or so.

Wentz. Dumb move on the Eagles part. They gave up too much to move up 6 picks.

Don’t follow college. Anybody great coming up this year? what positions?

my Jets are done with their schedule, aging CBs, choker QB who want’s a zillion dollars, and Ferguson leaving because he JUST figured out the sport might hurt his head.

With Decker and Marshall, a great QB could put up sick point, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be

The draft is loaded on the defensive side of the ball this year.

I can’t believe their are GM’s in the NFL that actually think Goff and Wentz are franchise QB’s. I just don’t see it in either of them. God Bless the Browns, they need as many draft picks as they can get....and it looks like they’re going to get a quite a few good one.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of these picks traded to the Bengals with players or cash to acquire AJ McCarron.

That’s the guy Hue Jackson wants. He already knows his offense and the Browns will use the remaining picks on WR & TE’s.

The trades may just be getting started.

Well, Revis and his sidekick aren’t getting younger.

Shame is it’s a good team if it had a very good QB.

That would be my assumption, whichever QB the Rams don’t take, the Eagles will grab. I can’t imagine you would trade 5 trades next year for any other position.

As a Saints and Texans fan, a few years ago, I screamed when I thought the Texans wasted the Draft's No, 1 pick on a defensive guy named Watt.

Man did I eat some crow.

Two in one offseason -- they also dumped Johnny Trainwreck
