Sounds like they bought into the hype that Cleveland might be interested or that someone will move in front of them.

It's either a play to gauge other teams thinking about trading up in front of them, or they are really wanting to move up.

Cleveland would essentially be trading out of the spot guaranteeing them first dibs on the draft's Tier 2 players (Richardson, Blackmon, Claiborne)
A lot of teams could be fighting to trade into the Rams' or Jaguars' spot for a shot at any two of those players. Assuming the draft goes this way: 1. Luck 2. RGIII 3. Kalil 4. Tannehill 5. Richardson/Blackmon/Claiborne 6. Richardson/Blackmon/Claiborne 7. Richardson/Blackmon/Claiborne Who's left at #8 worthwhile for Cleveland to draft? Draft Fletcher Cox to play 3-4 DE? Settle for Floyd when you could have had Blackmon? Ingram? I mean, Ingram is the most likely pick there I guess. The trade off of Ingram + picks vs Richardson or Blackmon almost isn't worth it, in my opinion. |

Tier 2 players? How in the world can Richardson and Claiborne be considered Tier 2? They're the best non-QB prospects in the whole draft.

Tier 2- Richardson, Claiborne, Blackmon Tier 3- Cox, Kuechly, Ingram... Floyd? Tier 4- Tannehill, Reiff, yadda yadda That's what I meant anyway. Call it Tier 1 or Tier 2. Either way, those three players are at a level above the rest of the draft. I think we can all agree on that. |

Kalil is not Tier 1 compared to other LTs taken in the last 10 yrs. He may be the top LT this yr but the overall grade for LT's this yr is a C grade IMO.

Top 2 tackles taken in the first round each year: 2011: Tyron Smith, Nate Solder 2010: Trent Williams, Russell Okung 2009: Jason Smith, Andre Smith 2008: Jake Long, Ryan Clady 2007: Joe Thomas, Levi Brown And yes, Jake Long went #1 overall in 2008. I remember. It's not my fault the Dolphins were idiots for taking him that high. He's a fantastic player now, yes, but he had hangups as a prospect that had many people questioning him going #1 overall (which they were right to do). Given what we knew about all of those players leading up to the draft in each respective year, I would take Kalil over all of them besides Joe Thomas. |

For a zone system, Kalil would be absolute balls out.
The guy is athletic as hell and can really pass protect. His footwork is superb and he comes out of his stance very quickly. He's a destroyer out in space. If they want to go up and get Kalil at #4, I've got no problem with it. |

I'm guess this would signal the movement of Albert to guard?
