4. Browns trade with Arizona

Arizona gets pick No. 4

Browns get pick Nos. 15, 47 and a 2019 first-rounder

The same school of thought applies here, as well as to Buffalo.

To plummet out of the top 4 so that another team can be hand delivered a franchise quarterback should cost next year’s first rounder, at minimum.

To do this trade, Cleveland could also probably squeeze a second-round pick out of the Cardinals, which would be the 47th selection overall.

Arizona signed Sam Bradford, but only for year. Granted, he’ll earn $20 million for his one season in Arizona, the Cardinals’ quarterback situation is a long way from being solved, which makes them an ideal candidate for a trade.

5. Trade out of No. 1

John Dorsey wasn’t kidding when he said he was open for business, and I do believe that statement includes trading the No. 1 pick.

But to do this, would the Browns have to covet Josh Allen more than Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and Baker Mayfield?

Allen can be had at No. 4? The other three? You’re risking it.

The Giants and Jets don’t figure to take Allen in the second or third spot, but the the problem the Browns run into is that another team may move up ahead of them.
