If you get a player that might take a year, but anticipate him to be a top notch player, you take him over a guy who is solid and can contribute year one. Long term benefit always trumps all regarding the draft

It's not silly at all.  A top ten pick should be someone that comes in and contributes day one.  The reason you're drafting in the top ten is because you need help now, not down the road.

He didn't say other things wouldn't need to be involved, i.e. it would have to be pick #1 for AJM straight up.  Only that the #1 pick would have to be involved.

Do you have any idea how teams assign value to draft picks?  The number one pick in the draft is worth a ransom.  Moving up two or three spots, to number one overall, normally involves multiple picks in the future (at least some of which are first rounders).  So maybe the Bengals trade McCarron and this entire draft.  Perhaps McCarron, the nine this year, a second, and a first next year.  It would take A LOT to get the Browns to move out of the number one spot.
