I'm convinced the Jones Boys want to go DB in round 1 which, IMO, is a mistake. Trade down for more picks and you'll find DB's in the later rounds, just as we did with Diggs and Bland. You fix the DL. Trenches, trenches, trenches.

We need a lot on defense. Hard for me to argue against almost any spot they go for.

I don't have a big problem with them taking Delane or Downs but obviously would be thrilled if somehow we got Bailey or Bain. Styles would be another solid addition to the front 7 if we somehow got him, unless they trade for somebody like Jordyn Brooks first.

I don't trade any more draft capital unless it's a late pick.

People keep floating this idea of moving up with Browns, giving them 12 (1200) and 20 (850) for 6 (1600) and 39 (510).

It's fairly close on the value chart. It puts us into position to guarantee one of the primo defensive players and doesn't result in us "losing" a pick.

For Cleveland (a team with massive numbers of holes) it gives them 3 picks in 1st rd.

Another deal that makes some sense to me is 12 and TJ Bass for 6. Bass was tendered at a 2nd rd level (around 400 pts) so we might have to throw something else in (maybe we include 20 and they give us back 24) but the Browns lost a bunch of starting OL and this gives them one starter and allows them to still consider taking another OL (prob a T) at 12, and doesn't feel like they are over-drafting the spot then.
