There are plenty of reasons for those disappointing numbers, and plenty of blame to go around, so no need to do a deep rehash at the moment. Suffice it to say, the Browns need to get their act together this fall under first-time head coach Todd Monken. One tried-and-true way for a team to improve its fortunes is through the annual NFL Draft, where this year, general manager Andrew Berry holds two first-round selections and four of the first 70 overall.
Another option, if you are a franchise that is truly struggling, is to trade away an established player or two to acquire even more draft picks. If two first-round picks are good, then more first-round picks are even better! (And if you are lucky, you’ll find a sucker at the table willing to give up three first-round draft picks for a quarterback that hasn’t played for a year and is facing major off-field issues.
) Not everyone can expect that to happen, of course, and while every team has tradeable assets, not all are created equally, and things like salary-cap issues and no-trade clauses can complicate things. Pro Football Focus’ John Kosko took on the task of finding what the site considers the most valuable trade asset for every team. And the choice for the Browns was a little bit unexpected.
