From time to time in the past two months, I have argued on PFT live That the Browns should consider negotiating n ° 2, if they get an offer they like. I could also get there here.
The reason is quite basic, which allows him to integrate into my global mental bandwidth. Each draft choice is a lottery ticket. Given the current state of the team’s list and salary ceiling, they need more tickets that will result in more affordable recruit offers.
They abandoned three first round choices and even more to ensure that the quarter-Arrière Deshaun Watson. It was a massive error, both paid money and young talents wasted. It was undoubtedly a distinct error not to return Myles Garrett to the defensive winger for young cheap players, after Garrett clearly indicated that he wanted to go out.
So they should listen. And other teams should call.
Yes, telephone calls are regularly made before the project. In all directions. This is part of the reasonable diligence that each team has. Although there is an obvious incentive in the media industry to transform the normal way of doing NFL activities into breathtaking reports, it would only be news if: (1) No one called the Browns; Or (2) the Browns refused to speak.
Last week, the director general of Browns Andrew Berry clearly indicated that they kept their options open at n ° 2.
“All the options are on the board of directors,” said Berry at his press conference before the trip.
Questioned later if they planned to use the second overall choice, Berry said this: “We will make the decision which, in our opinion, maximizes the impact on the team. You know, if it selects a player, if it uses the resource otherwise. If it moves, the decline, exchanging it for a veteran …
The Browns are faced with a very simple proposal. Use the choice or exchange it for the different other choices that could be obtained in exchange. They surely know now who they will take in n ° 2 – unless, of course, The homeless have not yet cracked. Whether it is Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter or anyone else, they hope that a guy will individually have a greater impact on the team than a collection of guys via the package they offered.
Given where the Browns are currently, there is something to say about the amount of choice. Especially given the amount of CAP space which will be consumed in the coming years by the Watson and Garrett contracts.
