re: Globe's Greg Bedard's Mock 4/15: S Harrison Smith, trade for Browns' 3rd & 2013 1st
I have two major issue with this mock. First, as many have pointed out already there is no way Cleveland makes that trade. They already have excess picks from the Julio Jones trade and I think there is a good chance they could gain more by trading back from 4. I don't see any way they trade forward a 1st round pick, especially when they have one so close in the early 2nd. Especially for a soon to be 29 year old rookie QB.
My other issue is the Harrison Smith pick. I think it contradicts everything we know about the Pats drafting strategy. For a team that preaches value and best player available, this pick screams reach for need. I wouldn't count out any pick for the Pats, but this one would really disappoint me.
