Browns give Vikings their 1st, 4th, 5th and 7th round pick to move up one spot (4 to 3) to nab Trent Richardson apparently.
Benji brought up a real good point. Why would the Browns jump in front of the Vikes for a RB? Why would Minny draft Richardson when they have AP? The Bears are interested in that pick and I wonder if a few others are also interested and the Browns are auctioning the pick.Quote:

NFLN has some good coverage on the draft, their theory is that for weeks the Browns were trying to throw out a smoke screen so it would appear that they WOULDNT draft Richardson, but they secretly really want him (since they need a solid RB), but now that we are closer to the draft, they heard more teams were trying to jump them and nab that 3 pick from the Vikes, so the Browns decided to beat everyone to the punch and give up the farm to move up to get their guy.Quote:

I'm psyched! bring it on! exciting
So right now looks like:
1.Colts: Luck
2.Skins: RG3
3.Browns: Richardson
4.Vikes? Trade down? Kalil?
is the chatroom open for the draft?
Great move by the vikings. They still get kalil and a bunch of later round picks.Quote:
