A few considerations:
1. This screws the Browns, and therefore is a great trade. I can see the Browns not drafting Goff, and instead going for someone like Bosa (who I think would be a great fit) or trading down. SF would probably like to move up to that pick, or perhaps the Eagles.
2. There's a rumor floating around that the Broncos, Bills and Browns are going to pull off a killer trade where Tyrod Taylor ends up in Denver, the Bills get the #2 overall pick, and the Browns get both the Bills and Broncos 1st round picks, plus a bevy of others. I'd really like that trade to not happen; the Browns would have 4 picks between the Bengals #24 and #55 selections. The Bills may pass if Goff isn't their guy.
3. If the Browns do take Goff, then SF and Philly will be overpaying at #7 or #8 if they take Lynch. But Lynch will likely be gone by the time they select again in the 2nd round, which probably makes a good market for AJ McCarron. I can see one of those teams ponying up a #2 and #5 for McCarron, should the Bengals be inclined to trade him (and there's been mixed signals on that front).
