If the Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns have it their
way, there may be a few trades agreed to early in this year’s NFL Draft. Peter King of Sports Illustrated reports that the Raiders and Browns both want to
trade down from their No. 3 and No. 6 selections.
The Raiders are hoping to add a second-round pick, as they
are without one this year due to their previous trade with the Cincinnati
Bengals for quarterback Carson Palmer.
The Browns also want to trade back, and NFL.com speculates
the move could be used to pick up West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith a few
selections later. There is speculation that Cleveland could be a factor when it
comes to Smith.
This draft is considered weak overall, so the Raiders and
Browns could find a hard time dropping back. However, falling back and
acquiring additional picks would appear to be a good move for either franchise considering
they both has several needs entering the new season.
