Wilson went first round, and Seattle and Saint Louis were trying to trade up to three to get Trent. The browns werent that dumb, they gave up very little.
Keep your draft commentary coming......
Even Mel Kiper was surprised that Wilson was drafted by NY. Also, it's not necessarily the fact that Cleveland traded up to get Richardson, it's the fact they gave up three picks to move up one for a RB. I understand if it's for a QB or WR but it was for a RB. I understand two picks for a RB but it was three. I just think it was way too much. Especially since if Richardson was drafted, they could have taken Blackmon who I think would have been a much better pick.
I feel like you're missing the point. In a close market, yes, most agree what they gave up was of greater value than what they received. But in the open market of the NFL, where multiple entities may make bids to another for a commodity, value is equal to what another is WILLING to pay. That other entities were also bidding for the same spot drove the value up.
Speaking of Seattle, what in the world is up with drafting Bruce Irvin at 15?!
