Do the Browns Hold the Cards?: Deal to Giants Off, Braylon to Philly, After Sanchez?

[Wolverine]

Okay there are several links here.

Sources: New York Giants, Cleveland Browns at impasse on Braylon Edwards trade - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4091378)

now John Clayton has a report floating out there that would have a deal for the Eagles and Browns that sends Braylon and the 5th pick to Philadelphia for their first rounder, corner back Sheldon Brown, and a offensive lineman, either Shawn Andrews or Stacy Andrews. I can't find a link for this, it was a report from All Bets are Off on Sportstime ohio and they said John Clayton had this as a rumor floating out there.

Now there is also talks that the Browns might trade Brady Quinn, probably to Denver or New York, and take Sanchez.

So really... The Browns seem to be in the middle of it all. they might control the entire draft depending on what they decide to do. No one wants to trade up into the top five these days because of the money those picks ask for.. But they are in a position where they could effect a lot of stuff even if they don't trade the pick.

Ok, so the Eagles get BE and the 5th overall. Who would they take at #5? Crabtree even though they have BE and DJ? There is really nobody else that high that I can see them taking. Are they in love with Curry?

The Browns get a good corner and a RT (which they could get in a later round of the draft) and miss some of the best LBs on the board.

Count me skeptical on this one.

The eagles would have edwards jackson and Curtis I doubt they would draft crabtree...

They would probably draft a defensive player... Maybe Jenkins or a DE!

That's my whole point......they wouldn't draft Crabtree. There aren't many players likely to be available at #5 that are worth that pick though. Jenkins definitely isn't one of them. As far as DE goes, they have Darren Howard and Trent Cole with Chris Clemons, Juqua Parker and Victor Abiamiri behind them, so that's unlikely.

Not to mention, it's highly unlikely the Browns would take that deal as it stands. There's no way in heck they trade that far down without getting some serious compensation in return, and let's face it, Shawn Andrews isn't exactly great return for a deal where you give up Braylon Edwards AND the fifth pick.

Well, technically, the Browns would get Sheldon Brown in that deal too. :D

[l.a. no-teamers]

RD, if you guys draft Sanchez, will you please rock that Sanchez sig you rocked earlier in the year? A 'cut' above the rest!
