And now rumors are circulation during the owners meetings going on currently in Florida that the Browns are entertaining calls from other teams who would like to move up to the 4th overall pick in next months draft.

The Rams will get the Skins' first-round picks in 2013 and 2014. Washington also gives up there 2nd RD pick for this year as well.

A buddy of mine forwarded this to me. Thought I would share..........
