As most of you know by now, the Eagles have traded Donavan McNabb to the Redskins for a 2nd round this year and a conditional 3rd/4th next year. I am glad this trade is finally complete because now we don't need to listen to the we should pay a king's ransom to get McNabb. That's right Charlie, I'm talking about you. However, this a potentially large impact on the draft for the Cleveland Browns.
Bradford is a lock at 1 as far as I'm concerned. National experts are projecting that because the Lions just traded for Rob Simms, (I wonder if he'll get crap because he went to Ohio State playing in Michigan) the Lions will take themselves out of the LT business. I'm not sure I buy it. Jeff Backus is an old LT and could surely move inside with an upgraded LT. I suppose the thinking is that with Simms at LG there is nowhere to put Backus. I say if you have the opportunity to grab a 10-year LT you do it. Not to say they shouldn't pick Suh or McCoy at 2, but I think they still discuss LT. If it is true however that they pick their choice of Suh/McCoy at 2, we could be in trouble. Tampa Bay will take the best DT available and will take Suh or McCoy. If Suh goes 2, McCoy will go 3. At this point its Stafford, Suh, McCoy and our friend the Redskins are up at 4.
Here is where McNabb haunts us again. How has Donavan haunted us the first time? We drafted Tim Couch while we watched McNabb turn himself into a perennial probowler in Philly. With McNabb on board in our nations capital, Washington WILL pick a LT. At this point we're looking at Okung going to the Skins.
The Chiefs likely will also go LT with 5, because Scott Pioli does not like the thought of drafting a safety this early. So say they go Bryan Bulaga/Trent Williams.
Now come the Seahawks who also traded for a QB this offseason because they don't want to get stuck drafting Jimmy Clausen. So take Clausen off the board. Now Pete Carroll a defensive guy is looking at the 3rd rated LT or the best defensive back. Having just released Deon Grant, the Seahawks need a Safety as well as a replacement for Walter Jones at LT. I would not be suprised to see them take Berry here. Lets hope McCoy falls to this point, I think the Seahawks jump on McCoy if hes around.
And now we're screwed.
If this happens, the Browns have alot of options. DE, CB, RB, WR, LB, S, QB (NOOOOO), OL?
It this happens I think the Browns try desperately to trade down. I'd be thrilled to pick up an additional 2 or 3 to move down a few spots and land Earl Thomas, CJ Spiller, Brandon Graham, Devin McCourty, Kyle Wilson, Rolando McClain... the list goes on. The problem is I don't like any of these guys at 7.
One thing is for sure, this years draft is going to be fun.
SUPERBOWL!!!!
