Don't be shocked if the Browns trade down again, this is the spot people expect someone to jump up to and get a WR.

Remember a Money Ball guy is running that team. He is going to inject all the talent he can.

Money Ball isn't running the show right now. He's still learning the ropes of NFL from office and trying to bring his analytics and transfer them into the NFL. From what I understand Jackson is very much in charge of the draft right now.
I liked the pick. The worst pick so far has been Bosa to Chargers. Moving a prototype 4-3 end into a 3-4 system. Sure. Good move Chargers.

Injecting all the talent that you have control of is Money Ball 101.
How do you get massive amounts of new talent? You trade back in the draft. While Depodesta doesn't have outright control right now, I think we can agree that philosophical idea is being used in this draft.
Everyone knew Browns were trading down. They have talent absolutely no where on the roster. This isn't a philosophical idea here this is common sense being employed by the Browns. Which, admittedly, they generally don't employ.

Agreed. There is common sense and then there is using that common sense and actually going through with it. Something that the Browns have been allergic to since the beginning of time.
