Thoughts on Potential Draft Trade With Cleveland!!!

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I would guess that Cleveland would have to take Smith in the 2nd, but that might be kind of a stretch. Maybe they take Drew Stanton instead, even though that probably wouldn't be a really popular choice around Cleveland.

As far as trading Betts, I don't really like it all the much either. We absolutely need to have 2 above average running backs or we're in trouble. Like you said, if we lose Betts we don't really have anyone great to step in for him and that just creates another need for the team.

I have to admit though, this whole Calvin Johnson thing has me feeling like a bit of a hypocrite. I'm totally against trading for Briggs because I don't think that move fills a real need. At the same time though, the thought of having Johnson on our offense has me feeling giddy, even though WR is not a true need (at least not a first round need).

The more I think about it the more I hope we trade down to someone like Atlanta for their first and fourth round picks (even though we'd lose some value on that) and pick up Okoye and an extra pick.

Okoye and an extra pick is EXACTLY what I want. I would be thrilled with that. The Falcons wants either LaRon Landry or Calvin Johnson. They could get Landry with the 6th pick for sure if we could make a deal with them.

I'm headed to the bar to watch my beloved Hoyas and Gators handle their business.
