Am I missing something? I am working on 3 hours sleep here, but why would the Browns end up with two firsts and a whole whack of picks in that equation?
Like, break it down... Cleveland trades a second for two first round picks, and multiple later round picks?

I have a better one if you want to hear it......ready?
That Trade is non quality! At least I post reasons and details plus research:
First of all why would anyone want to spend wampum on Taylor? The Bills won't spend to reup the kid. This is much more realistic.
Chew on this:
===First Round pick #7. TRADE-Miami Dolphins from San Francisco 49ers (Pending prior Trade, San Francisco 49ers Trade QB Kaepernick to the Denver Broncos for Denver 3rd round pick #94.)
The Miami Dolphins get San Francisco 1st Round Pick #7, 2nd round pick, # 37, 3rd round pick #94 [via Denver for Kaepernick], and RB Carlos Hyde from the 49ers.
The San Francisco 49ers get QB Ryan Tannehill, “if reinstated” rights to DE Dion Jordon and Miami Dolphins 1st pick #13.
Chip gets his “run option” QB in Tannehill who has been mediocre for the Dolphins but better than the latest edition of Kaepernick who does not trust the 49ers organization. It was not a sure thing the Dolphins would have upped Tannehill and his too high salary in 2017 anyway.
The 49ers have CAP room after moving Kaepernick for Tannehill.
Former Oregon Duck Jordon would seek to reestablish his career with his former coach Chip Kelly.
Miami gets the RB they are desperate for.
===First Round Pick #4. TRADE-Miami Dolphins from Dallas Cowboys via San Francisco 49ers. (In prior Trade, Miami Dolphins get 1st Round Pick #7 from the San Francisco 49ers.)
Dallas Cowboys get 1st Round pick #7, 2nd Round pick #42 from Miami Dolphins.
The Miami Dolphins get Dallas Cowboys 1st Round pick #4 and Dallas Cowboys 4th Round pick #101. Miami Dolphins select Jared Goff, QB, California (Or Wentz pending Cleveland)
The Cowboys make the trade gaining 96 Points according to the NFL Draft Value Chart by moving down just three spots and gaining a 4th Round pick.
The Dolphins picked up an extra pick in the 3rd Round and 4th Round in the Tannehill Trade so they have ammunition.
Adam Gase starts his Head Coach career with a shiny new QB and they still have the serviceable Matt Moore in reserve. Pick # 13 to get to pick #4 in the 1st Round would have cost the Dolphins too much. Trading Tannehill, who does not fit the Gase QB mold, makes sense.
==== Fifth Round Pick #144-TRADE-LA Rams from Denver Broncos. Denver Broncos Trade 5th Round Pick #144 to L.A. Rams for QB Nick Foles.
Younger than Sanchez and tall like Manning and Osweiler, Foles had 53 TDs and 27 INTs in 59 games. He also ran the ball well in 2013 surprisingly with 225 Yards. Might be a better fit than Sanchez in Kubiak’s system. Very affordable CAP wise for the strapped Broncos. Lynch will be gone before 1st Round pick #31 anyway. They can stand pat or go for a QB in the later rounds such as Hogan.
I had this in another post.
Do you have all of this? It makes sense and the numbers do work....so there!
