2018 Trade Down scenarios

The Bills traded their first-round (No. 10) pick to the Chiefs for a first-round (No. 27) pick, a third-round (No. 91) pick and a 2018 first-round pick.

The Browns traded their first-round (No. 12) pick to the Texans for their first-round (No. 25) and a 2018 first-round pick.



I figure the Bengals will be in a spot like this in the upcoming draft and someone may try and come up to get a Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield. The question is, would you take either of these trades if they were offered to us?

Considering that Cleveland passed on Watson and are now winless with one game left in the season I'd have to say that Cleveland made the wrong decision.

The Bengals stayed pat last year and turned down trade offers and got 1 touch complete with a fumble from its prized #9 pick. Clearly a mistaken pick and trading down would have made more sense.

Whatever the Bengals do they need to draft more wisely than last year's desperation pick.
