An Intriquing Possibility
Now that the Denver Broncos have traded Brandon Marshall to Miami for draft picks, does that open the door for the Browns to trade down in next week’s draft?
The Broncos would appear to need a receiver and Dez Bryant could very well be sitting there when the Browns go on the clock with the seventh pick. If the Broncos are interested in Bryant, they may be open to switching first round picks with the Browns – Denver is at No. 11 – and throwing in one of their two second-round picks – No. 11 or No. 13 – into the deal.
Of course Seattle, which picks right before Cleveland, also needs a wide receiver and they could take Bryant or work a trade themselves.
Sliding down four picks would probably cost the Browns a shot at Tennessee safety Eric Berry, but adding another second-round pick would help the team either improve on its depth or give them the means necessary to move back up into the late first round and grab their QB of the future.
If I’m Mike Holmgren, I would certainly be open to making a call to Denver if the right time presents itself.
