I thought cleveland was under the assumption that we might edwards. So why didn't we swap picks with them. We would still have gotten Brown and they really wanted edwards. We could have gotten our guy and get a second rounder. Even a third rounder would have been worth it.
 
Maybe Cleveland had a back-up plan and didn't care if Edwards went.
 
Trading down has been overhyped garbage the past few days. Precisely how many trade downs have there been so far? The players were lockstep in ability atop this draft so who is going to be foolish enough to buck that basic truth and surrender plenty to take one evenly rated player over another? Per usual, look backwards to arrive at the current truth. We were told long before the combine this draft was comparitively weak, but balanced, atop round one. Nothing changed except wild rumors. You might see trade downs later in this round once teams have a specific player targeted but think he will still be available 5 or 10 spots later.
