If Chicago Bears Trade Down In the Draft, Watch These Teams

-

Cleveland Browns (#12)

Like Tennessee, the Cleveland Browns have used trades in 2016 to gain maximum flexibility in 2017. They have five picks in the first three rounds including two first and two second rounders. Already they hold the #1 selection overall. Using that on a quarterback would be the logical course of action, but perhaps not in this case. Instead they may prefer to load up their roster with not one, but two bold strokes.

For example they could take pass rusher Myles Garrett, widely believed the best prospect available, first overall. Then they could utilize their extra picks to jump back up to #3 ahead of Jacksonville and Jets to maybe get their quarterback of choice. Thus their offensive and defensive cornerstones are locked in. The Bears would sacrifice a lot in terms of position, but would gain a bounty of high picks in return.
