Quote:You are making no sense. If the Browns did not want an extra first round pick, why would they give the Colts their best running back? Mike Holmgren would have quit if he was still the GM because of that trade.

I'm confused at which part made you think that I said they didn't want an extra pick.  They traded their RB, who was starting off the season slow, and ended the season slow, for a first round pick, which they can then use to trade up to get a qb. The fact that they're around the sixth spot in the draft makes the trade up to the second pick ideal for the rams, if they want to take the tackle matthews, because at six that's not a reach.  With the pick the browns got from the colts, depending on how far into the playoffs they go, they could use on secondary help which they need this year, and i'm sure they could get a second rounder from the browns as well, So two first rounders and a second to get what you think is your franchise QB doesn't seem like anything in comparison to what the redskins gave up. And for the Rams they wouldn't be out of position to draft the player of need LT if they did the trade with the Browns, The vikings on the other hand, given that no 4-11 teams win the rest of the year, will be at the back end because of their tie, making the probability of Matthews still being their a lot less likely.
