Rumor: Ryan Mallet to Browns for 6th overall pick - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

The only way cleveland would give the pats the six overall pick for mallet is if Mike Lynn or Mike Ditka was the GM.

And, I think you are severely discounted the OTs that are available.. Luke Joeckel being the big name..

I think Joeckel will go 4th to Philly and Geno Smith 1st. Should have mentioned that. Doubt if anyone would want to trade up for what's left. I don't think the next two tackles are elite by any means; Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson. Milliner would be a possibility, if we let Talib walk. But, he's not guaranteed to be a sure thing. Warmack is multiple pro-bowler with a chance to be the best interior OL in the league.

I think Warmack is a stud, but if the Pats had a top 6 pick they better take either Moore or Werner.

Surprised you didn't consider Star Lotulelei. He'd be at the top of my list of who I'd think they draft.

Just to note, if the Browns really do want him, BB's leverage is quite good as they're lacking a 2nd rounder. I'd be amazed at a #6 straight up, more likely a trade of firsts. Anyway, I'm sure this is fiction but it would be nice to see what BB would do with a #6 overall.

Mallett is as good or better than any QB in this draft. Browns still wouldn't trade their 1st or swap their 1st for him. But Mallett fits what their HC likes to do. I could see something like a 3 this year and a conditional pick next year of some kind. The only way Cleveland can upgrade their QB is draft one in the first (very unlikely), sign a FA - or do a trade - so some kind of trade for Mallett isn't impossible.

Oh, man, if this freaky Trade for #6 actually happened, I would pigpile Picks like a mad man!!

If they dont like Weeden(very likely, who likes the guy?) its a trade that makes sense. For the 6th overall? probably not. Too good to be true.

I'd be more than happy with a 2nd.

And mine. But you don't seriously think he'd be available at #6 if the Draft were today, do you?

Even so...It's a long way to April 25th!! So we could always hope...

maybe the 6 for mallett and 2014 3rd that would be more reasonable

If he were to make this trade, Lombardi would go down as the shortest gm stint in history.
