I'm still of the opinion that we'd be better off trading down. With that said, the Cleveland Browns hold multiple picks in the 1st and 2nd rounds. Suppose they offered us the following deal.....

 

 

Cleveland gets #3 overall pick from Jacksonville

 

Jacksonville gets #9 overall pick from Cleveland, #33 overall pick (1st pick of round 2), #65 overall pick (1st pick of round 3) and Cleveland's 7th round pick. (It works out perfectly on the NFL Trade Value Chart).

 

 

With such a deal we could probably land a pass rusher like Derek Barnett or DeMarcus Walker at #9. Possibly a RB like D'Onta Foreman at #33, an OG/C like Pat Elflein or Ethan Pocic at #35, a RT like Taylor Moton or Dion Dawkins at #65 and maybe another pass rushing DT to pair with Malik Jackson, like Jaleel Johnson at pick #67.

 

 

To me, that sounds like a great deal for both teams. We get a chance at a huge influx of talent on both lines, the Browns get 2 picks in the top 5 where they could add a QB and an elite defensive player and they still have a mid range 2nd round pick.
