Trade deadline, power rankings

NFL trade deadline is tomorrow. There aren't any Browns rumors I'm aware of, but you never know. This is the last chance to pick up a late round 2004 draft choice by shipping off a back-up tight end or something. And of course, there's always those James Jackson trade rumors that I (unsuccessfully) tried to start...

Well, let the Power Ranking watch commence. At 3-3 the Browns can start measuring their "respect" in these things by how they compare to established contenders. For instance, I always take pleasure in seeing the Browns ranked ahead of the Steelers (even though Peter King still asserts they will win the North). A victory of the Chargers on Sunday would probably mean the Browns start sneaking into playoff territory. And why not?
