Now, that doesn't apply to the few teams with multiple picks, but the narrative has been rampant. With that said, if you're buying it, I'd venture to say that Joe Mixon will be the first pick of the second round and will be a Cleveland Brown or a Cincinnati Bengal (via A.J. McCarron to Cleveland). I'm probably way off, but an interesting game of chess by these NFL teams on this situation.
I think you are 100% correct. I have a Browns friend who keeps saying the same thing. If the Browns don't completely screw up their first round picks they will take Mixon. Or another team ahead of us that may have skipped on a RB in the first. So far other than the Browns I think we are the team that takes him.
A trade may happen before we pick in the 2nd. With comp picks being tradeable for the first time one would imagine Clevelands phone will be ringing off the hook overnight for that first pick on day 2. We will see if a team is not just willing to pick him but, trade up to take him.
