I made trade offers to Cleveland and the Giants when the Steelers were OTC at pick 21 and neither had interest. I feel like in the real world draft that interest for that pick is going to be a lot warmer if Dart is available and both of those teams passed on QB earlier. That's if the Steelers would even move out and not take Dart themselves if Rodgers has not committed. I have drafted him myself at 21 but like I said I was drafting under the premise Rodgers is signed.If this were the real deal and phones were active, the Patriots would have contacted QB needy teams behind them about a trade up ahead of CLE.Dave knows how I feelI'm not sure whether to applaud you for getting him this late or be critical of the fact you passed him earlier and were able to get bailed out.At 2.07, 39 overall, the Browns do the expected and select Jaxson Dart, QB, Mississippi.With hind sight knowing Dart fell to 39, I'd have pushed him to Burden at 33, but still think Dart was the slam dunk move at 33.
IMO Dart was the only player on the board with positional value to warrant what SEA paid to move up. I was sure that was the play when the trade was announced
In our exercise I would find fault with the Browns process, passing on Dart, but would have to give A+ reviews for the final outcome, which the way it worked out I have to say well played.
