    am glad my Browns didn't get suckered into dealing up. Wanting 2 firsts this year AND our first next year to move up 2 spots. No thanks!

    I'd rather have had the Browns pick at number four TBH - unsure if Blackmon will still be there at number six, and we desperately need a quality play maker at receiver. Blackmon is insane and will be the real deal, so a bit worried.

    Hopefully Blackmon is not there. Really hoping Browns get him at 4. Really, we'll have our choice of Blackmon and Claiborne, and can't go wrong with either. And can see TB going with the other at 5.

    The rams should just trade down farther, and send a 20ish first to the steelers for mike wallace

    Its absurd how much the Redskins gave up to move up 4 spots in the draft. 3 first round picks and 2nd rounder? Damn. If Griffin doesn't workout it could be franchise crippling.

    As a Redskins fan, I can only shake my head in amazement at the stupidity of my franchise.

    Could be worse, could have signed payton manning to a 10 year 200M deal.

    What sucks is the Browns apparently offered 3 first rounders (2 this year and next year's) and still lost out. They might as well have gone all-in if they were pushing for RGIII. Oh well, Matt Barkley here we come.

    As a USC fan as well, I wish. I really do. But I don't think we'll be bad enough, and imagine Barkley will end up #1.

    This move might be able to be justified if RGIII comes in immediately and sets the league on fire. I think it will take some time though and the #6 this year should net a pretty good player. Will see when he plays, but best case scenario he lives up to promise and makes this trade a push. Worse case it makes everyone forget about the bounty Mike Ditka gave up for Ricky Williams.

    I almost would rather my Colts gave up the top pick for this haul and kept Peyton. Almost.

    Yeah, my line of reasoning is i'd trade 3 first rounders for Cam, not RGIII.

    Fuck, I'd still take RGIII for my Browns though.

    Meh, this is a 4-5 player draft. The talent dropoff after Blackmon and Claiborne is pretty bog.
