People have been proposing fairly insane trade ideas for McCarron. So I thought I would jump in the mix here instead of a whole new thread. They say that there is no way the browns would trade the #1 pick for our #9 pick and McCarron. But what about a different route? How about approaching SF? They are QB needy also...and the 49ers got a chance to see McCarron first hand when he beat them in SF.
How about there #2 pick for our #9 and McCarron? That accomplishes a couple of things. First, we are not trading McCarron to a division rival. Second, with the #2 pick we would assure ourselves of a difference making DE...either Garret if the browns inexplicably pass on him...or Solomon Thomas. If we need to sweeten the deal a little, then we can add one of our late round picks (I think a 5-7 round pick might do it). Somebody who can look up the draft pick values can do the math and see if this idea even makes sense.
