If we play the game using your hypo... Rosen/Rudolph go...then LAC goes with Jackson....I could easily see the NYJ or any QB hungry team that views Mayfield as the last "starter" trading up with TB to grab Jackson ahead of Cleveland.  Then who does Cleveland go with at #10?

I agree, but the truth is, they technically did give up a 2nd round pick for McCarron, the deal just got turned in too late, so there is no reason to believe that the same deal wouldn't be re-visited. What has changed that you believe they wouldn't cut the same deal? As I said before, the Browns cannot pass on getting a franchise QB and they would also need a transition QB. They already know that Kizer is looking like a dud. No matter what they do, Kessler is likely a goner. McCarron would give them a likely short term starter who is familiar with Hue Jackson's offense and a first rounder would give them a QB of the future.

I don't think that will happen, so I can't comment. As I said before, I don't necessarily believe this is how the draft will go. I believe we will trade up and get our QB. I just don't predict draft day trades in my mocks. I don't wanna miss out on getting a franchise QB and I don't think we will. My guess is that we target picks #5-8 to tray and trade up to make a deal. It will cost a lot, but it would be well worth it to get our QB of the future.

They can go the McCown route and not give up a 2nd rounder if they are just looking for a "transition" QB...why give up assets (even if you have a ton).

To play Devil's Advocate using your No Rookie behind a shaky OL...what would you call the Jags OL right now? 

We have Robinson/Linder as locks....Parnell has done great this year but is injured...Cann has been really iffy...Omameh hurt/FA next year.  We basically have 2 huge holes at OG and possibly RT as well.  Best case scenario...Robinson//??//Shatley//Linder//Parnell.   We still have a hole at LG but realistically we have hole at both OG as Linder will probably stick at Center.

To go from the 20's to #5-#8 we would probably need to give up this years 1st/2nd and next year's 1st at a minimum...Chiefs gave up #27/3rd rounder/next year's 1st to go up to #10 last year.
