For example:

Cleveland offers two picks (#33 Rd, 2 -Pick 1, and #65 Rd. 3 - Pick 1) for #29, or alternately they offer #35 (Rd. 2 - Pick 3) and #64 (Rd. 2 - Pick 32) for #29.

Our arsenal of picks (using the first scenario) would be:

2nd Rd.- 1 - Pick 33 - via Cleveland
2nd Rd. - 29 - Pick 61
3rd Rd. - 1 - Pick 65 - via Cleveland
3rd Rd. - 29 - Pick 93
4th Rd. - 29 - Pick 129
6th Rd. - 29 - Pick 203
7th Rd. - 12 - Pick 230
7th Rd. - 29 - Pick 247

The Browns have a slew of picks. They can use all of the them or they can utilize them in order to acquire the specific personnel they want. If they draft a QB with their top pick and they might draft Barkley or Bradley Chubb with their fourth.

They still need to address OT. If they trade into the bottom of round one with us they may snag a OT or a top OG.

If we get the top pick of round two we can entertain additional trade back offers or we will have had all night to search out the absolute best player available at the top of round two over-night.

A second trade back option might be:

Jets have two second rounders and want to slide up to grab the #29 pick from us.

Jets might offer two picks (#37 and #72) for #29.

2nd Rd.- 5 - Pick 37 - via NY Jets
2nd Rd. - 29 - Pick 61
3rd Rd. - 8 - Pick 72 - via NY Jets
3rd Rd. - 29 - Pick 93
4th Rd. - 29 - Pick 129
6th Rd. - 29 - Pick 203
7th Rd. - 12 - Pick 230
7th Rd. - 29 - Pick 247

In either scenario, the Jaguars have an addition pick in the early stages of round two.

I'd be fine with either one of those scenarios. In fact, I hope that's what happens.

You really don't understand how the draft works. The Patriots have won multiple Superbowls and they trade back almost every year.

I remember last year Caldwell saying it would be tough for late round picks to make the roster. The same may hold true this year. Package them up to move up a few slots.

We'd have to trade way up for a QB. There is no other position we are targeting that is worth trading up for.
