The Cleveland Browns have been making moves since the 2017 Season ended, but they shouldn’t be done yet. Here are 3 players they should consider trading.
Since John Dorsey took the reins as general manager for the Cleveland Browns, they’ve become one of the more exciting teams in the NFL. That could have been the case had he simply come in and used the tremendous draft stock he was gifted.
Dorsey and the Browns owned more draft picks than any other team, with four of those selections coming within the first 35 picks. With those four selections, they took Baker Mayfield (No. 1), Denzel Ward (No. 4), Austin Corbett (No. 33), and Nick Chubb (No. 35).
They also used other picks to acquire veteran talent. The most high-profile being the acquisition of Jarvis Landry in exchange for a fourth and seventh-round pick. Cleveland also landed quarterback Tyrod Taylor in exchange for a third-round pick.
The moves for the veteran talent only added to the spotlight that was already on the Browns, as did their appearance on HBO’s Hard Knocks.
Unfortunately, all the positive press hasn’t turned into a winning record for Cleveland. They’re still trying to get things figured out, but are much more competitive — which is proven by their four overtime games in their first seven contests.
Whether it’s aimed at getting better now, or adding more talent in the future, the Browns shouldn’t be done making moves. There are holes to fill, but Cleveland could also look to unload players lost in the shuffle in exchange for future draft picks.
That’s what we look at here as we examine three members of the Browns who should be on the block leading up to the Oct. 30 NFL Trade Deadline.
