Browns trade up from 4 to 3

Cleveland traded from number 4 to 3 with the vikings, presumably in order to keep other teams from grabbing Trent Richardson.

Let's see if Kalil slides here. If he gets past minn we have a chance.

I started a draft discussion thread to consolidate all draft related moves. It should be a little more organized than creating 50 new threads.

Wouldn't MN most likely have grabbed Kalil anyway? Cleveland shoulda stayed put imo.

Min was talking to others, though about possible trades, and they made it public. Cleveland was worried (panicked maybe) that someone wanted Richardson.

The Vikes put up a pretty good front about being undecided, at least. With Peterson's Knee injury, they could have very well taken Richardson if the trade hadn't been made.

I do think the Browns gave up too much though.
