Mock Draft, Version 2.0-Crazy Trade Edition

Just reading the tea leaves, and projecting a couple of trades....I really hope this doesn't happen, BTW. As always, I apologize if I forget anyone.

1) Detroit: Matthew Stafford QB Georgia
2) St. Louis: Jason Smith OT Baylor
3) Kansas City: Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest
4) Seattle: Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech
5) Cleveland: Mark Sanchez QB USC
6) Cincinnatti: Eugene Monroe OT Virginia
7) Oakland: Brian Orakpo DE Texas
8) Jacksonville: Jeremy Maclin WR
9) Green Bay: BJ Raji DT Boston College
10) San Fransisco: Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech
11) Buffalo: Everett Brown DE FSU
12) Denver: Michael Jenkins DB OSU
13) Washington: Andre Smith OT Alabama
14) New Orleans: Aaron Maybin DE/OLB Penn State
15) Houston: Chris Wells RB OSU
16) San Diego: Rey Mauluga LB USC
17) New York Jets: Brian Cushing LB USC
18) Denver (from Chicago): Traded to Browns for QB Brady Quinn
Browns select: Tyson Jackson DE LSU
19) Tampa Bay: Josh Freeman QB Kansas State
20) Detroit (from Dallas): Robert Ayers DC Tennessee
21) Philadelphia: Michael Oher OT Ole Miss
22) Minnesota: Hakeem Nicks WR North Carolina
23) New England: Clay Matthews OLB USC
24) Atlanta: Brandon Pettigrew TE Oklahoma State
25) Miami: Vontae Davis CB Illinois
26) Baltimore: Darius Heyward-Bey WR NC State
27) Indianapolis: Peria Jerry DT Ole Miss
28) Philadelphia (from Carolina): Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia
29) New York Giants: Traded with #91 to Browns for WR Braylon Edwards
Browns select: Alex Mack C California
30) Tennessee: Ziggy Hood DT Missouri
31) Arizona: LeShon McCoy RB Pittsburgh
32) Pittsburgh: Ebon Britton OT Arizona

Browns' remaining picks
Rd2/36) Larry English OLB Northern Illinois
Rd2/50-from TB per KWII trade) Kenny Britt WR Rutgers
Rd3/91-from NYG per BE17 trade) Andy Levitre OL Oregon State
Rd4/104) Michael Mitchell S Ohio
Rd 6/177) BPA

Of course, phone calls to Torry Holt, Marvin Harrison, and Rodney Harrison's respective agents will be placed on draft weekend. Seriously though, I'm trying to figure out if Magini is really smitten by Sanchez, or if he is just trying to get someone to trade up to the #5 spot to get him. It might be only a coincidence that the Browns' new QB coach was Sanchez's QB coach at USC. As much as I like Brady Quinn (and invested big $$ on a BQ game jersey), it's tough to fault the Browns' above draft. The above scenario immediately makes our top receivers Martin Ruck and David Patten, which doesn't scare anyone. I'll continue to be on the lookout for more info, one way or another on this event.

If the Browns trade BQ and pick Dirty Sanchez, I'm not watching the NFL this year at all. How can they trade a guy that they pegged the "face of the franchise," after they never gave him a chance? Its baffeling.

We need players though, but there has to be another way.
