Quote:The Browns did not get worked, it was a mistake to draft Trent Richardson 3rd overall to begin with, a runningback has to have a RARE combination of vision, speed, power, quickness, and lateral agility (an Adrian Peterson clone) to warrant going that high. Trent Richardson never possessed those elite traits for the Browns to make such a pick, I'm shocked the Colts gave up a 1st round pick for him, they are a lot more than a runningback away (Imo) from being considered a serious contender.

 

Exactly what I thought. The Colts GM got awards for being the best GM last year, but it was completely unwarranted. Anyone could have drafted Andrew Luck. Nothing else he has done has been impressive, and this move stinks of desperation. I have no idea why a team would trade a first round pick for a running back at all to begin with, but Richardson wasn't even close to worth his draft position. The drafting of Richardson and Weeden in the first round last year by the Browns was all the signal anyone should have needed that the regime in charge then had no clue how to evaluate talent or build a team.
