Browns Unlikely to Trade Up from No. 8 Pick

Browns Executive Vice President of Football Operations Sashi Brown spoke with reporters on Thursday morning, following a blockbuster trade that sent the No. 2 overall pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for multiple first and second-round picks.

Brown explained his rationale for the move, saying:

“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. so we like where we’re sitting.”

When asked if the Browns have any plans to move up in the draft to a higher selection, Brown said it’s:

“Possible, not likely. We don’t want to get to a point where we are taking a lesser talent just because we are addressing a need.”

We’re one week away from Draft Day. Insert Kevin Costner joke here. Let’s see what Brown and company have up their sleeves.
