More Trades Coming?

Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini says other trades are in the works.

"A little bit of this was done in anticipation of being able to get some other things done that will involve draft picks," Mangini said. (in reference to Kameron Wimbley being traded for a 3rd rd pick to the Oakland Raiders).

From ESPN Insider:

Earlier, we considered Mike Holmgren's comments relating to the Browns' search for a QB to draft this April, making note of the fact that Holmgren has never drafted a QB higher than the third round during his career.
Well, that might change this year. ESPN AFC North blogger James Walker got word from a source that the Browns are interested in Texas QB Colt McCoy, and reported Monday that the team will host him for a two-day visit on April 12-13. Given McCoy's stock, the Browns might have to snag him with their pick near the top of Round 2. There are some size concerns with McCoy, but he had one of the better interviews amongst the QBs at the combine, and is expected to go somewhere in the second round.
On Tuesday morning, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the Browns' interest in McCoy is "real," and that it's quite possible they'll use that high second-round pick to take him, or package some picks together to move into the bottom of the first round to snag him. Cleveland currently has three third-rounders and four fifth-rounders to play with, and Browns coach Eric Mangini hinted to the Cleveland Plain Dealer that another deal (possibly involving the pick they acquired for Kamerion Wimbley) could be forthcoming.

Todd McShay

He's not first-round material

"[McCoy] does not have prototypical size at just 6-1 and one-eighth and 216 pounds. McCoy worked primarily out of the shotgun at Texas, and his height raises concerns about his ability to scan the field when dropping from under center."

So what exactly is "in the works"?

Well since all we can do is speculate, lets run with that for the time being.

I keep hearing that they are going to trade a pick (doubtful it is the 3rd rounder) to the Eagles for Chris Gocong. He is a decent LB, but would be dominant in a 3-4 scheme. This could be a win-win for both franchises. I just can't see them giving up a 3rd for him, maybe a 4th.

How about a package deal of McNabb and Gocong for a first and third, possibly a player to be named?  Here you could unload Shaun Rogers and a pack of picks for Donavan McNabb. (Long shot, but remember we are just speculating). Lets face it, Philly won't keep McNabb, Kolb and Vick.  There's just to much money wrapped up in one position.

Could we be making a run for San Diego Chargers WR Vincent Jackson?  It's no secret that our group or WR's lack experience, top end speed, and above average playmaker ability. Vincent Jackson could bring all of those......if we were able to sign him away from the Chargers.

A much more likely possibility could be Justin Smiley from MIA. The Fins are looking for a 3rd round pick for Smiley. Holmgren and Parcells are good friends.
A 35 yr old Jake Delhomme would like nothing better than a strong O-Line to keep his weathering body from being completely dismantled this season.
