Trade Talk!

The Browns and Broncos are considering a swap of RB Reuben Droughns for DE Ebenezer Ekuban. While I like Ekuban well enough, this would be a great trade for the Browns. Ekuban probably doesn't figure in the team's 3-4 plans anyway, and Droughns would be solid competition/backup for Lee Suggs. And he'd probably be cheap for a year or two.

What is going on in Denver? Andre Patterson must have been a HUGE fan of his guys here in Cleveland to be pushing so hard to acquire them. While I wouldn't say Denver is getting bad players, I do wonder what Broncos fans are thinking.

Clearly, Savage is trying to get another RB in here and he seems to want to do it before the draft. That means, to me, that the team is either going defense, picking a WR (Williams or Edwards) or trading down. A QB will remain a possibility, but I think any interest there is strictly to keep other teams guessing to help facilitate a trade. Getting Droughns (or Chester Taylor) would be a nice addition that would kill any talk of the Browns picking Ronnie Brown or Cedrick Benson, but there hasn't exactly been a lot of buzz about the Browns going RB anyway.
