The first Robert Griffin to Browns trade rumor emerges

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on January 17, 2012, 1:20 PM EST

The Browns need a quarterback badly. They own the No. 4 overall pick in the 2012 draft.

Browns coach Pat Shurmur already made some positive comments about Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, so it was only a matter of time before a report emerged connecting the Browns to Griffin with something more tangible than speculation.

As part of NFL.com’s ridiculously early mock draft party on Tuesday, Steve Wyche projects the Browns will trade up with the Rams for the No. 2 overall pick to take Griffin.

“Cleveland needs Griffin — and wants him, according to league sources,” Wyche writes.

He points out that the Browns have the most ammo of any team looking to move up, and the Rams would probably like to move down but stay in the top five.

This is all way too early, but it makes a lot of sense. It makes so much sense that we expect to hear some variation of this rumor on a regular basis until late April.

We need a front office with a clue before anything else.

AGAIN... Are you and the group with this theory illiterate, or refuse to accept FACTS that disprove your theory on who Pioli will and won't draft? It's a proven damn fact that Pioli made an attempt to move up in the draft for a player he wants. Stop with the "dumb *** Pioli" crap about a guy who has more NFL knowledge in his pinky finger than you. You read fan opinions on here and take it as facts. When actual facts contradict the b****ing and whining, people tend to ignore them and continue their rant as if it didn't happen.

I sincerely hope Pioli can work out a trade scenario to get us a franchise QB. But, to sit there and state that Pioli wouldn't take RGIII if we were sitting at #2 makes you look ignorant. I'm sure you were one of the prophets who said there was no way in hell Pioli would take Berry as well.
