Jeff Ridson from RealGM reporting:

"Just heard the Browns are pondering an offer for Brady Quinn. 3rd rounder this year and a conditional 2011 pick to send Quinn to be a backup/eventual starter. Not sure if I'd do it if I was either team."

It's not a pick you like trading, but I don't think people have any appreciation for how much better this team would immediately be with a competent QB like that behind center. He probably has 3-4 more years of being able to compete at a playoff caliber level, and would provide a bridge to a young hand picked Holmgren qb to groom.

I would also ship a first round pick out for Marshall yesterday. He is 25, has 3 100 catch seasons in a row, and would make far more an impact on this team than anyone they could draft at #7. The money won't be drastically different between what you pay a 7 pick and him, but you at least know what you are getting off the bat instead of projecting and hoping. Too many first round picks have been busts with this team that if you could get a sure thing like that you take it.

So it would blow the whole draft up, but you would have a legit #1 receiver capable of stretching the field and a QB who could actually get it to him. That would be an A+ homerun for the Browns in terms of immediately making the team better. You could use every other pick to draft defense, and sign a few targeted free agents and suddenly there might be legit cause to at least have hope.

People get far too married to draft picks emotionally. If you can get sure things you know will dramatically improve the team, it beats hoping and praying you don't miss on someone in the draft.
