It was announced Wednesday Cleveland will trade the Eagles its 2016 first-round selection and a conditional 2017 fourth-round selection for the Eagles’ 2016 first-round selection, third-round selection and fourth-round selection. along with the Eagles’ 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 second-round pick. And we felt like where our roster was, the better decision was to acquire the first next year, the second in ’18 and 2 additional picks here and still be picking at 8. When the Titans possessed the No. 1 pick, it appeared the Browns might have their choice of quarterbacks in this draft class. Now they have moved out of position to select either Goff or Wentz.

We want to assemble a young nucleus of talented players and this trade positions us really well.
