3 years of #1 Draft Picks Traded By The Clowns

Plus Mayfield is now with Carolina, so they don't have him either.  I think they watched Kevin Costner in Draft Day Movie where he trades the Browns 1st round picks for the next 3 years.  I thought, what a crazy movie, not even the Browns would be that stupid. OH WAIT, They are.

So The Browns don't have a #1 Pick until 2025.  On the other hand Houston is loaded on #1 Picks and should be a tough team as this decade rolls along.

So since this is Smack Talk, I'll add

That made me lol for some reason!



Somehow, in years past, they always seemed to be able to attract a few big names. Granted, the rest of their team was usually dog shit, but I always wondered how they'd come up with enough money to attract players to a city like Cleveland and a team like the Browns.

I don't know how they'll sign anyone worthwhile in the coming years with Watson's cap hit being 54.933 million per year for the next for the next four years (after 10 million this year). Maybe they'll get a few bigger names and just hope they can fill in their depth with guys that will play for pennies and hope they never have to see the field, but even that seems impossible with Watson's cap hit.

It's a typical Browns move to offer a guy a record contract when they likely could have had him for a below average contract since not many other teams would go near him with all of these lawsuits and suspension, and that's not even considering public perception.
