Blogging the Cleveland Browns plus other Cleveland-area blather, plus other blather about other things.

It's Winslow -- and we give up our 2nd rounder to do it.

I think Winslow is a complete punk ass. Yeah, yeah, he's a soldier. Leave it to Butch to draft a "soldier" two days after a real NFL soldier was killed in action. But on football terms I like getitng Winslow and he could be the guy who can make the absolute most impact in 2004. So that's cool.

But trading #37 to move up ONE PICK? My god. I can see overpaying somewhat if the Browns really wanted the guy, but that's a LOT. And the Browns need a second rounder this year in a pretty bad way.

If Winslow turns out to be a Pro-Bowler it will have been worth it. If he's pretty good, then probably not. And if the Browns don't get back into the second-roun you can expect almost everyone to say the Browns paid a very heavy price.

Compare these two trades.... man the Browns gave up a lot.
Browns get: Detroit's first-round pick (No. 6), which they used to select Miami TE Kellen Winslow.
Lions get: Cleveland's first-round pick (No. 7), which they used to select Texas WR Roy Williams, and second-round pick (No. 37) in 2004 draft.


Eagles get: San Francisco's first-round pick (No. 16), which they use to select Arkansas OT Shawn Andrews
49ers get: Philadelphia's first-round pick (No. 28) and second-round pick (No. 58).
