Quote:They keep trading down from top 5 to playoff teams. It would not be so bad if the Browns traded down once but even all of the blue-chip players are gone by the time they finally make their picks.

in 2014 they picked 8th and 22nd. Odell beckham, Aaron Donald, Taylor Lewan, Teddyy Bridgewater, Anthony Barr etc were all available, go take a look. They could have taken two blue chip players and still got derek carr in the second but they drafted Justin Gilbert and Manziel.


In 2015 they picked 12th and 19th. They used the 12th pick on Danny shelton whos a solid player, and used the 19th pick on Cam Erving(who is horrendous) with Bud Dupree, Shane Ray, Byron Jones, and Landon collins available.


They havent been out of range of top tier talent, theyre just drafting bad players instead. Its not the trades, its the talent evaluation.
