I had a battle with cancer last year and paid little attention to NFL other than Redskin games. Anyhow the radio talking head said Browns acquired three extra picks in a deal they made last year. Evidently they are quality picks and Packers believe they can solidify their future with this deal. If you can believe sports talk ???, the analyst said the Browns are all-in on the trade if they get a long term deal with Flynn.
glad ur getting better.. my grandfatherhad a similar situation 2 years ago

Elite Receivers help you get into the playoffs. Elite QB's help you go all the way. Granted if they decide Matt Flynn is their guy I'll root like hell for them to get Blackmon but RGIII will have a bigger impact on this team then any receiver in the league, including the likes of Fitzgerald, Megatron, and Andre Johnson.
Yep. Didn't see any elite receivers on the Patriots 3 super bowl teams and wouldn't consider Plax or Santonio Holmes elite either. Wouldn't even consider The Colts WRs elite when they won it. Manning has made his WRs look better than they are. Just don't like the idea of burning the #6 overall pick on a WR unless they're in the mold of megatron or Andre Johnson. Would like to see some size line up on the outside for us. I'd take Jefferey later on. Even AJ Green is 6'4.

FYI my local sports talk radio reported yesterday that Flynn is headed to Cleveland in some kind of sign and trade deal for three of the Browns draft picks.
Flynn is a unrestricted free agent. There would only be a signing, no picks involved.
Glad to hear you are doing well with your bought. Keep on fighting the good fight.

There's talk the Packers will use the franchise tag on Flynn and then trade him, probably not a bad idea.

OK, for the moment, let's assume that GB tags Flynn and then trades him to Cleveland for several draft picks. That would put us in position to land RGIII but I think we would be wise to still try to trade up to get ahead of Tampa.
With a new HC in Tampa, I wouldn't trust that they would not take RGIII. I feel that Cleveland wouldn't need to give up the #4 pick to get Flynn but hey would still like to recoup a pick or two by trading down with the Skins.
The one problem I can foresee with this scenario is if Cleveland wants Richardson and they are afraid that Tampa might draft him. In that case, they would need to stay where they are.
BTW, in my mind, Luck, Kalil, and Blackmon are locks to go in the top three picks. I think that RGIII is going to be taken 4th by somebody. I can't imagine RGIII going any lower than 6th.
My "small miacle" draft scenario:
1. IND - Luck
2. STL - Kalil
3. MIN - Blackmon
4. CLE - Richardson
5. TAM - Claiborne
6. WAS - RGIII

I don't think they have the cap room, and wouldn't that guarantee him the average of the top 5 paid QBs in the league? They still have to sign Finley. Stranger things have happened really so we'll have to wait and see.

Stop man, Cleveland isn't stupid. They'll succumb to the mock drafts, the media, the hype and draft RG3. They're more likely to stick with Colt, than sign/trade for Flynn.. Let's be realistic.
Washington has NO chance at drafting RG3 at 6. Absolutely NO chance.
