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.

Yes.  My scenario has a hidden value in the fact that the Browns still get to utilize the #9 and #12 picks in the draft on positions other than QB, while still getting the QB prospect they want.  Basically my scenario has them getting 340 points for AJM (value of late in the second round) PLUS the 1200 points of the 12 pick, as they now get to use it however they wish.

Remember the chart is a guide, not something carved in stone.  Additionally the rookie wage scale has further skewed it.

If Hue really believes in AJM, then he would jump on my proposal.  He gets his QB, and can still get 2 impact players at picks 9 and 12, as well as moving up to pick 9 in the second round.  If he did so and landed Mike Williams and 2 solid defenders with his first three picks, people would be calling him brilliant.
