Unless they thought another team was trying to move there to take him. No idea how likely that is though.

Gilbert and Haden is formidable. Green, Jones, Sanu and Eifert will have their work cut out against Browns CBs. Who Dey.

Fuck this. Goodbye Ray Farmer, barely knew you. Gonna be GONE in two years. This team is going nowhere until they find a QB!

Methinks the Vikings told Cleveland they were drafting him. I can't think of another reason to reach like that.

That was a reach and unnecessary to trade up one spot. Vikings were almost certainly not taking Gilbert.

They don't make that move unless they believed there absolutely was a credible chance that he would be gone... so it's a logical fallacy to say "almost certainly not."

Well as a DET fan, Denard or Martin or Barr. Anyone else will be meh. And all 3 of those may be a stretch at 10

And CLE still getting their guy but dropping down and gaining a 1st next year and only giving up a 5th is pretty smooth

Or you appreciate that none of these QBs deserve to be drafted this high and grab a comparable player at a later pick. Seriously, there is nothing anyone can say to convince me that Bortles/Manziel/Bridgewater are MUCH better than the next tier.

For those of you who don't get the Gilbert pick it's not that complicated:

Mike Pettine comes from the Rex Ryan school of defense. Rex likes to put his corners on an island so they can get creative on defense and pressure through blitzing. To do this you need at least two elite corners. Pettine is clearly trying to bring the same thing to Cleveland.
