Cleveland, Ohio – While the Browns seem ready to stay at n ° 2 in the NFL draft and the Relisted Hunter recovery, the receiver / cornerback which is considered by many as the best prospect of the draft, they apparently operate team calls hoping to exchange.
This is the word Tuesday by Peter Schrage d’Espn, which reported that the Browns and the Giants of N ° 3 obtain not only calls – but entertain them.
“There have been telephone calls at the same time the Browns at 2 years old and the Giants at 3 years old with the intention of going from several different sources telling me that there are teams that seek to get into this project around 2 or 3 places, (with) the hypothesis being to go to 2 or 3 spots would be for Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter or the running back Jeanty, the running back Schrage ESPN.
“There have been teams that have made calls, and these teams (the brown and the giants) do not immediately slam the phone. Browns at 2 and giants at 3 years old. Everyone assumes that it will be chalk, that it will go cam. The godfather takes care of exchanging them and them to exchange the first three. »»
Of course, it is normal for the teams to call the Browns and the Giants to find out about the exchange of two players described as “generational” talents in this Hunter and Carter project. If they did not get calls, the two prospects would have been madly suchypical in this cycle.
The key is whether or not the browns would be willing to exchange. If they do, they would potentially negotiate the No. 1 perspective of this class in Hunter, and one which has as two first -round choices with its ability to play both the receiver and the cornerback.
They would also potentially transmit the first rush rusher in the Carter class, which would make a formidable duo with the defensive player of the year of the NFL of NFL Myles Garrett. The two rushers would wreak havoc on the quarters for the coming years.
While some teams could call to exchange Jeanty, others could also be interested in a quarter-rear in one of these spots. While the Browns seem to have moved away from Shedeur Sanders at n ° 2 – despite Berry who said he was still at stake – other teams could judge him worthy of this choice or n ° 3. The Giants, who led late private training sessions with Sanders, Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough last week, could also take one of the QB,
As for the Titans at No. 1, the director general Mike Borgonzi revealed on Tuesday that they had “come to a consensus” as an organization and undertook to stay there and select a player. He is probably the quarter-Arrière Cam Ward, but he refused to say. It excludes a possibility for the Browns, although it is very thin, to exchange n ° 1 for Ward.
The last time the Browns had the overall choice n ° 2, in 2016, they exchanged it at the Eagles for a cargo of choice, then exchanged in the first round. But they did not have much to show for their transport over the years, while Carson Wentz, the quarter-back for whom the Eagles exchanged until n ° 2, went 11-2 in 2017 before undergoing an ACL torn by the season. The Eagles then won their first Super Bowl that year, which made the trade is worth it.
This year, the Browns do not need a similar transport of choice, because they already have 10 in this project, including five in the first 104. But if they can get high choices next year, it could make a tempting business. The fact is that they would not want to move so far that they lack one of the generational players or one of the other elite perspectives on which they had the eye such as the offensive platform of the LSU, Will Campbell, who made his top 30 here on May 4, the same day as Sanders, Travis Hunter and Carter.
The teams that may want to move include saints at No. 9, who need a quarter-back now that Derek Carr could miss the season with a shoulder injury. But the Browns, ready to start Kenny Pickett or Joe Flacco this season, could be better served by remaining on the spot and by entering a potential pro Bowl player to the receiver and the corner, then returning and finding their quarter-arre of the future later, even if they have to exchange the first round to catch it.
Anyway, the project now starts at n ° 2, and things could become interesting on Thursday evening.
