Editor's note: Tony Grossi covers the Cleveland Browns for ESPN 850 WKNR.

Hey Tony: Do you think there is an advantage to putting out false info about who you’re taking at 1 this close to the draft? No one can jump you. Should they just announce once a conclusion has been made for 1 overall?

-- Blake, Parma, OH

Hey Blake: You’re assuming the team holding the No. 1 pick is the only source of false info. Many times, false info is spread by other teams – for whatever reasons. As far as announcing the No. 1 pick in advance, I see no positive whatsoever in doing it. What if the player commits a crime, or is caught in a compromising situation prior to the draft, or takes ill, or is hit by a motor scooter crossing a street on campus? There is no point in committing to a player before the draft.

Hey Tony: Which player has impressed you most with how he has handled the scrutiny of being a possible top four pick in this draft, and how do you think that translates on the field?

-- Alan, Norwalk, OH

Hey Alan: For the most part, I think they all have handled themselves well. But I am mostly impressed by Sam Darnold’s maturity considering he is the youngest of them all. That has to count for something.

Hey Tony: What package of picks is a “must do” to trade the 4th?

-- Paul, Salem, OH

Hey Paul: This depends on how far down is the other team. The further the drop from No. 4, the steeper the price, of course. Plus, there should be a premium paid for netting the trade partner its perceived franchise quarterback. If you’re talking about going from No. 4 to No. 12 (Buffalo), the standard draft trade value chart says the cost should be 600 points – which is the equivalent of the 31st pick of the first round. Since Buffalo also owns No. 22 in the first round, you might think Nos. 12 and 22 would be fair price for No. 4. Not in my world, however. I would want a No. 1 next year, in addition. (But might settle for a No. 2).

Hey Tony: Are you buying the rumors on NFL Network today that Josh Allen is the pick at 1?

-- Matt, Parma, OH

Hey Matt: Now that we have entered “silly season,” the rule of thumb is: don’t believe anything you hear. That said, Allen has been rumored as the apple of John Dorsey’s eye since this process began. So I have always considered him a possibility. At this point, I’m still believing that Sam Darnold will be the choice. Allen’s pre-draft visit is scheduled for Thursday, however. Maybe he can win over everybody in the organization and join Dorsey on the outstretched limb – for Allen would be quite a high-risk, high-reward choice for a No. 1 overall pick, in my opinion.

Hey Tony: What is the least amount the Browns would accept for the number 4 pick?

-- Erik, Youngstown, OH

Hey Erik: The least amount would come in a trade with Denver to merely flip positions at No. 4 and No. 5. The draft trade value chart equates the difference at 100 points – a high fourth-round pick. Again, I would add the premium of providing the Broncos their franchise quarterback and make it a third-rounder.

Hey Tony: The pre-draft talk is fun, but do we really know anything? It's Sam Darnold or Josh Allen they say. I like Josh Rosen, who is the best pure passer. It’s possible John Dorsey also prefers Rosen, but obviously he would never leak it. Is all this talk just fun?

-- Nate, St. Paul, MN

Hey Nate: Once again, leaks can come from anywhere – not just from the Dorsey camp. An agent of another quarterback prospect. An agent from a competitor agency of a different quarterback prospect. A scout from another team who talked to a scout from the Browns. A college coach. A scout close to a college coach who talked to a scout from the Browns. These draft rumors have more branches than a small forest.

Hey Tony: Do you think anyone actually knows who Dorsey's favorite QB prospect is, besides Dorsey?

-- BTI, Cleveland, OH

Hey BTI: Sure. I believe Dorsey’s inner circle knows what he’s thinking, but they are sworn to secrecy.

Hey Tony: Every year a player falls unexplainably and sits uncomfortably in the green room awaiting his name to be called. Who will it be this year?

-- Casey, Wooster, OH

Hey Casey: Good question. It could be Josh Allen. Or Baker Mayfield. Or Saquon Barkley. Or Minkah Fitzpatrick. If we knew, then it wouldn’t be a surprise on April 26.

Hey Tony: Any word on when NFL will announce schedule?

-- Jeff, Stow, OH

Hey Jeff: Last year, the schedule announcement was made exactly seven days before the draft. A similar timetable this year would put the announcement on April 19.

Hey Tony: Any likelihood the Browns get a prime-time game next season? Pretty exciting offseason additions so far, plus two high draft picks on the horizon. Enough national buzz on the Browns?

-- Ryan, Toledo, OH

Hey Ryan: A prime-time game on Thursday night or Monday night is very possible. But I would guess the marquee prime-time game on a Sunday night is still a perk that would elude the Browns.

Hey Tony: Any progress on a Jarvis Landry extension? Will this be done before camp?

-- Pat, New York City, NY

Hey Pat: I would think this bit of business would heat up in the period after the draft and before training camp.

Hey Tony: Say Browns decide they are trading down with Buffalo and the top three picks go Darnold, Bradly Chubb, Rosen. Buffalo gives them two different options: Would you rather trade for 12, 22 and next year’s first, or three consecutive first round picks? And why?

--Trevor, University Heights, OH

Hey Trevor: Three consecutive No. 1s would appeal to me more. The Browns already are stocked with three No. 2s this year. Additional No. 1s in 2019 and 2020 would give the Browns enormous flexibility and options in the next two drafts.

Hey Tony: I might be a little late to the party here but I was wondering if Joe Thomas ever played on special teams, particularly earlier in his career? Would make his consecutive snaps played streak even more difficult. Thanks.

-- Josh, Avon, OH

Hey Josh: I believe Thomas lined up on various kick placement and punt formation teams in his earlier years.

Hey Tony: What influence will the Haslams have on the 1st pick?

-- Rick, Henderson, NV

Hey Rick: I’d like to say minimal, but, … well, … you know.
