It's looking more and more like Josh MacDaniels is going to be one if of not the hottest coaches on the market for a head coach position when the season ends, and if I were to bet on where he lands right now I would say Cleveland. So once again we will be in our yearly "our backup for your first rounder" discussion, and if it it's the Browns we are most likely talking about a top 5 pick. MacDaniels is a coach who really believed he can make any QB great, this his first round choice of Tim Tebow, and he also knows his success will largely rest who his QB is, so our discussion will be about whether or not he would use his high first rounder on Jimmy Garrapolo, and given their time together I would argue that he would give the Patriots their high first rounder for a QB be has been grooming the past couple of years.
Here it comes......Not so fast people will argue, Troy Vincent and Roger Goodell took the Patriots first rounder and made it impossible for the Patriots to trade up for one by taking the higher pick......ouch, that sucks! Fortunately for the Patriots and Patriot fans however the combined intellectual might of Vincent and Goodell couldn't hoist a dollar bill and they left a great big loophole for Belichick to hop right through. It's true, the Patriots cannot make a trade for the Browns pick in the draft, they made sure of that, but that doesn't mean they can't make a trade with MacDaniels where he actually picks the top shutdown corner in the draft and then trades him to New England for Jimmy G.
OOPS....suck on that NYJNFL.
