John Dorsey

There will be no shortage of trade partners for the Cleveland Browns in next week's 2018 NFL Draft. Browns247 examines some of the trade scenarios that could be presented to General Manager John Dorsey.

Cleveland acquires No. 2 overall from the Giants:

If Dorsey truly values Penn State running back Saquon Barkley and the Giants are willing to deal, then there is no reason the team should not attempt to move u and secure the top two picks in the 2018 NFL Draft. They would land their quarterback of the future (presumably Wyoming's Josh Allen or USC's Sam Darnold) and a valuable asset, Barkley, to take some pressure off of that player's plate.

What it would take:

The difference between the No. 4 and No. 2 overall selections is 800 points, which equates to the No. 21 overall selection, according to the Trade Value Chart. The No. 35 overall pick is worth 550 points so the Browns could add a 2019 second round pick or the No. 64 overall selection in order to seal the deal.

Buffalo moves up to No. 4 overall

Quarterbacks will almost certainly go No. 1 and No. 3 overall to the Browns and Jets. The Giants and Broncos are wildcards in the quarterback race. At worst, the Browns will be on the clock at No. 4 with the fourth and final top quarterback prospect available. At best, a potential trade partner would be able to move up and pick between two players. UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen sounds the most likely to be there at this point.

What it would take:

The No. 4 overall selection is worth 1800 points. The value of Buffalo's choices at No. 12 and No. 22 overall equals 1980 points alone but most feel that the Bills could be milked for a 2019 first round pick as well. It would be hard to bypass that deal regardless of who is on the board at No. 4 overall.

Denver moves up to No. 4 overall

A trade with Denver is ideal because Cleveland could pick up additional draft assets and still select a player they covet at No. 5 overall. The latest buzz suggests that the Broncos are not in the quarterback market but that is hard to fathom considering their current starter, Case Keenum, has a very limited track record of success in the NFL with the exception of last season. The players most commonly linked to the Broncos are Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward and Notre Dame offensive guard Quenton Nelson.

What it would take:

The difference between No. 4 and No. 5 overall is only 100 points, which is the equivalent of the very last pick in the third round. However, if other teams are interested in moving up, then there will become a bidding war. A year ago, the Bears moved up one spot with the 49ers to secure North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. It cost them a third and a fourth round selection. Cleveland might be able to milk Denver for the No. 40 overall pick if there is enough suitors.

Three-team deal between the Bills, Giants and Browns

The latest rumor is that a three team trade between the Bills, Giants and Browns is being discussed to enable each to land a coveted player. In the scenario, the Bills and Browns would take a quarterback and the Giants would take Barkley.

What it would take:

The Bills would be moving up to No. 1 overall and surrendering a lot of picks. The Giants would move down to No. 4 overall and likely acquire the No. 22 overall selection and a fifth round pick or better from the Bills. The Browns would move down to No. 2 overall while acquiring the No. 12 overall pick, a 2019 first round pick and potentially one or both of Buffalo's second round picks (Nos. 53 & 56 overall).

Giants move up to No. 1 overall

If the Giants covet USC quarterback Sam Darnold, then they could move up and secure him at No. 1 overall. Again, it would allow Cleveland to add draft capital while still selecting a player that they covet - Allen.

What it would take:

It would start with the No. 2 overall selection of course and likely include the Giants' second round pick, No. 34 overall. The Browns might have to surrender a fourth round pick or so to make it work.
