Epic Trade Mock

[c12schleyer]

Ok, so hear me out.  Hue Jackson likes to trade for QBs from Cincinnati, and it just so happens that in this year’s draft there is not a dominant #1 QB prospect.  So what does he do? He trades his 1[sup]st[/sup], 2[sup]nd[/sup] and 4[sup]th[/sup] round picks to the Bengals for McCarron plus the Bengals 1[sup]st[/sup] and 2[sup]nd[/sup] round picks.  Think about it, the Bengals get exactly what they would hope for in this situation.  Top of the round picks in the two most vital rounds of the draft, and a 4[sup]th[/sup] round pick also.  The Browns also get what they want. A QB that has proven some ability (and familiarity with the coach) and all it costs them is moving down in the first 2 rounds and a 4[sup]th[/sup] round pick.  It is a win-win scenario.  With that said, this is what I want to happen… I believe we lost Marvin Jones in FA, as well as some vital members of the secondary and LB corps.

 
1st Round
LaQuon Treadwell – WR – Ole Miss - 6’3” 195 lbs.
Reason: Lost MJ in FA.




 
2nd Round
Andrew Billings – DT – Baylor – 6’2” 310 lbs.
Reason: Peko declining, lack of depth at DT.



 
3rd Round
Jayron Kearse – S – Clemson – 6’5” 220 lbs.
Reason: Lose Nelson or Iloka in FA.



 
4th Round
Mike Jordan – CB – Missouri Western State – 6’0” 200 lbs.
Reason: Jones and Hall are getting older.  Could lose Jones in FA.



 
4th Round
Josh Forrest – MLB – Kentucky – 6’3” 255 lbs.
Reason: Maualuga and Hawk are on their last legs.



 
5th round
Cayleb Jones – WR – Arizona – 6’3” 215 lbs.
Reason: WR depth, upside pick after losing MJ.



 
6th Round
Kyle Friend – C – Temple – 6’2” 305 lbs.
Reason: Bodine is the weak link on the O-line.



 
7thRound
Travis Feeney – OLB – Washington – 6’4” 226 lbs.
Reason: Lose Lamur, Rey, etc via FA.
