Sounds like the Browns could end up taking Barkley #1

Interesting 

[IndyScribe]

That's interesting. Seems like they want Mayfield at 4. So Chubb could be gone by the Giants pick, or they could go Nelson. Either way, it's good for the Colts.

See it as a Win-Win

Nobody is telling the whole truth at this point.  And didn't everyone assume Barkley was "in the mix" anyway lol.  Why to sate the obvious rapoport.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I rather have the Browns get him than the Giants but I doubt it. I hate when the league's favorite teams(Steelers, Broncos, Giants etc..) have things go for them.

But the media, networks, Advertisers wpuld love Barkley in NY.

[BOTT]

I have sources that say Sam Darnold is firmly in the mix for the Browns at #1.

 

im a must follow on Twitter.

[NewColtsFan]

Meaningless.

 

Seriously...    Rap say.... "in the mix"....   well duh..   of course he is.   He was in the mix BEFORE the combine and Batkley aced the combine.   Of course he's in the mix.

 

And Dorsey has also publicly said he's willing to trade the number one pick.  

 

It's lying season...   assume everything is a smokescreen.    Don't believe everything you read and hear.....

Anyone surprised?  I'm not.  It's what I would do in their place.  There's only one Saquon Barkeley, and there's 4 or 5 quality QB's.  Get Barkeley first, and the best QB of who is left at #4.  (And, no, you don't do as that CBS guy says, and trade your entire draft for Andrew Luck.  Seriously?)

IMO The only way the Browns draft a QB at 1 is if they only have 1 guy and are afraid he won’t be there at 4

This new information has me hyped! Excited! Absolutely cogswalloped! That means we have a chance for Chubb at 3!

I can't see how a team doesn't have a preference at qb, and if that preference is any of the guys that have even an outside chance of going #2 or #3 you have to take him at #1. And if there is any team that shouldn't try to get "cute" or gamble when it comes to QB it's the Browns. 

[chad72]

The trade down in this draft happens with the Giants more likely than the Colts. Broncos or Jets trade with the Giants for a QB, I bet, as soon as the Browns take Barkley. Only one of the Broncos or Jets win the Cousins sweepstakes, more likely the Broncos.

Agreed 

  It is more if the team has guys 1a, 1b and are happy with either

Personally I don't think it will happen. I think Barkley has No. 1 overall ability. But Sam Darnold makes too much sense. 

 

If the Browns do take Barkley then LET The Bidding Begin!!!  

[horseshoecrabs]

Barkley will be gone at #1 or #2 so go to plan B or C Chubb Or move back for Nelson. 

[runthepost]

1 Barkley

2 Chubb 

this happens trade with Bills and get a jack pot

[Trueman]

Interesting, it would be pretty Cleveland to take a RB 1st overall.

 

Gotta say, if the plan is to take a QB with the 4th pick because they like 2-4 guys and would be “happy with any of them” , I think that’s flawed thinking.

 

They should be honed in on one specific guy. 

 

If they don’t like any of them, that’s a different story.

 

Personally, I think they should take Darnold 1st overall and get it over with.

Don't be surprised if the Browns take Barkley at #1. They have aver 110 million is cap space and could very well sign a vet QB before the draft.

The big thing could be whether the top Draft QBs want to go to Cleveland because no one wants a John Elway, Bo Jackson, or Eli Manning situation

They also have enough draft picks to trade for a QB too.

I am not too sure if the Browns are looked at as bad as they used to be with Dorsey there.

they are sitting pretty at 1 and 4.  barkley goes 1, then they get their QB at four.   they will be dangerous in 2 years, and they have tons of money and more draft picks 

[TdungyW/12]

Browns take Barkley .... giants take Nelson 

 

colts now sitting with the next pick get a kings ransom from a team looking for their next Luck ( QB ) 

 

browns move up frpm from 4 to 3 and give their 2 second round picks .... now the colts get #4 get Chubb AND have 3 second round picks!

They have 5 picks in the 1st two rounds with 12 picks altogether.

It is not always about the franchise since some guys want to be in a big market

[Shadow_Creek]

sources at this point can say whatever they want. i read another source that said the browns are open to trading there 1st pick. So for now everything is just here say

They take Barkley at 1 ... giants take Nelson at 2 to protect Eli or a QB for a future spot then the colts trade without browns for #4 spot plus their 2 second round picks and we get Chubb plus 3 second round picks.

For real. If you look at the way their picks are set up they are clustered together too.

JMO but the only way the trade with us is if they think we will trade the pick to someone else

I wasn't referring to a drafted QB. I was referring to signing a vet or trading for a vet with the money to sign him to good money.

I was referring to drafted players

    Elway used the Yankees to force a trade 

    Jackson was prepared to play MLB

    Manning forced a trade

 

  Several other players used the AFL or the USFL to avoid certain draft situations

[krunk]

As long as we come out of the 1st round with one of Chubb, Nelson, Edmunds, or Roquan Smith I'm good! This could actually be an even better thing for us if we have to trade back.

That’s why the broncos and jets are crucial

Maybe it will be Darnold at #1.  OTOH, what if they focus on one guy after interviews and testing.  Say they determine the best fit is Baker Mayfield (IME: a Platinum plated Jeff Garcia), not Darnold.  How many teams will trade up to take him in the top 3?  (I wager zero)  So they could take a game changer at #1 and get their QB at #4 in this particular case.  We never know what goes on in full in those draft rooms with the scouting reports, tape viewing sessions, and the interviews. Makes draft day exciting!

[Case]

If Browns do go with Barkley at 1 maybe they would trade up one spot to 3 to avoid someone else trading up and getting their QB they want. We get extra picks and prob still get Chubb.
