They sure do a looooot of trading down in the 1st round. And look at the state of their franchise. I guess since correlation DOES equal causation, and the Browns drafting all those QBs in the first round is why they keep sucking, I guess teams should also be advised against trading down and getting lots of picks.
I mean, the Browns do it a lot, and they're terrible. So don't do it!

Speaking of the Browns, sure they drafted plenty of QBs early, but coaching also matters. If we had drafted Rodgers instead of DJ, do you trust Herm to have developed him in his RRPP offense?
