25. Cleveland Browns – Trading Up To Draft Quarterback Johnny Manziel
Advertisement
This trade is exactly why the Cleveland Browns are who they are. Even after Johnny Manziel dropped all the way to no. 22 in the NFL Draft, the Browns were still compelled to trade away their third-round pick in order to move up four spots. That may not sound like a lot, but it is when you think about how much of a train wreck his career became.
In the end, Manziel played in 15 games for the Browns, including eight starts, completing just 57% of his passes with as many interceptions as touchdowns. That’s not exactly worth a third-round pick, is it?

John Elway said he would not play for the colts. Trade me or I will play baseball. So how could they regret that?
JR says
The Champ Bailey trade is not even close to as bad as trading up to select Robert Griffin III…. not even close.

Worse yet, the Ravens let Scott Mitchell wear #19.
Steven Bernier says
I agree with the Mack trade for Oakland. Not many players come through the NFL like him and the raiders cannot draft, just look a the 2018 draft.

The Bills don’t regret trading Marshawn Lynch. They gave him plenty of opportunity to be a franchise back for them and he never was. He was the third best RB on their roster at the time, outplayed for years by Fred Jackson and then by CJ Spiller. How long do you wait for someone to decide he wants to be something more than mediocre ?
Matthew Robinson says
The Herschel Walker trade is always and will always be overblown. It wasn’t a train robbery for the Cowboys. They could have got E. Smith and D. Woodson without this trade. No one else in the trade matters.

Lions have needed a rushing game ever since Barry Sanders left, how long? Stupid gm know and and never correct it.
