Browns GM Eyeing Trade Down in NFL Draft

0:00On April 3rd, Cleveland Brown's GM Andrew Berry drops some hints to be reporters at the league meetings in Phoenix this week. He's eyeing a possible trade down from the 6 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft. Berry made it clear it all hinges on who's available come draft time, and he ain't locked into staying put or picking anyone specific at 6. The Brown's hold three early picks, 6th, 24th, and 39th overall. After a rough 5 and 12 finish last season, dead last in the AFC North, they swapped head coaches, bringing in Todd Munkin for Kevin Stofanski. Berry knows nailing this draft is huge to turn things around. Fans and analysts see big needs at offensive tackle, wide receiver, and maybe quarterback. Free agency beefed up the line some, but left tackle still a weak spot with the Juan Jones banged up and better on the right. The receiver room was the league's worst, so they crave a playmaker.
