talks about how the falcons would possibly like to trade up to #6 if AJ Green slips past the bengals at #4...this would leave the browns with the falcons #27 pick and whatever other draft picks the trade brings...the article says atlanta's 1st, 2nd and next years 2nd....if i were the browns i would demand more if we are indeed trading down to #27...the browns obviously need more depth at multiple positions but another thing the browns need and are really lacking is true talent...whoever we get at #6 is going to have that true talent...im all for the browns trading down but i dont know how i feel about us trading down to #27 in this years draft

For the upcoming draft, the Cincinnati Bengals (fourth overall) and the Cleveland Browns (sixth) are considered strong possibilities for Green. Carolina, which has the No. 1 overall pick, is likely going defense or quarterback. Denver (second) and Buffalo (third) are not heavily scouting receivers. Arizona, in need of a quarterback, is picking fifth.
So if Green gets past Cincinnati, the Falcons will be on the phone with Mike Holmgren and the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns, who may want to amass picks, traded out of the No. 5 spot in 2009. Under a different regime, they sent the No. 5 pick to the New York Jets (Mark Sanchez) for the 17the pick, a second rounder and three players that were coveted by their former coach Eric Mangini.
Green wouldn?t come cheaply. The Falcons, since players can?t be traded because of the labor situation, would have to yield their No. 1 and No. 2 this year and likely their No. 2 for next year.

I hope they don't trade that far down. Depth is nice, but so are the impact players you're more likely to get at 6 than 27.

The only way I would make this deal is if we got a 2 first rounders, a second rounder and a player. That is a big jump we would make from 6 to 27. We would need to be fairly compensated. On the other hand, Hayward may still be there at 27...

To put that scenario in perspective, here's what Atlanta gave up in 2001 to move up just four spots to take Michael Vick:

The Falcons traded their first round pick, the fifth selection in the draft, along with their third round pick in 2001, a second round pick in 2002 and little used Wide Receiver Tim Dwight.

Once you consider that the picks that Atlanta would be trading away this time are at the back of the round instead of the the front, the Browns would be getting pretty much no additional value to move back an additional 17 spots in the first round than what the Chargers did in 2001 in a similar deal. My counter-offer would be for them to throw in at least next year's first rounder as well - let's see how bad they want the local gamebreaker at WR.
