hammertime Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 With all the longtime Browns fans here, what trade or pickup rates as the #1 move. (This is an attempt to talk about positive moves not crappy ones, that could be a seperate thread) I think if Quinn pans out then the 2 #1's by savage could compete for top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinDawg Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 WORST: I think Reggie White going to GB instead of the Browns...and since I'm depressed that's the move I think of. BEST: Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squintz Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 TOP: 1) 1978 Draft 2) USFL Pick-ups (Kevin Mack, Mike Johnson, Ice Cube McNeil, etc) 3) Ernie Davis. Unfortunately we all know what happened, but I still think it was a great move to get him. He and Brown would've been a devastating combo. BOTTOM: 1) Trading Chip Banks to draft The Mad Dog in a Meatmarket. 2) Trading away Paul Warfield. 3) Not trading the #1 pick to the Saints, instead drafting Couch.

roach Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Best Trade: Mike Phipps to the Chicago Bears for a draft choice that turned out to be Ozzie Newsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin Eater Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Worst: Picking up Andre Rison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Best Trade: Mike Phipps to the Chicago Bears for a draft choice that turned out to be Ozzie Newsome. 78 Draft matthews/newsome could thomas/quinn reach that status one can hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darubes Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Not even close on the worst move--- Trade of Warfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownB499 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 BEST #1 Jim Brown( nuff said) #2 Brian Sipe (13th round?) #3 Ozzie Newsome (didn't remember we traded for this pick) WORST # 1 Firing Paul Brown (how do you fire a legend? the curse begins) # 2 Warfield for Phipps (I said it then and I say it now WTF!) # 3 Tim Couch,Courtney Brown (how do you completely blow it two straight years?)

roach Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Another good one- QB Dick Shiner to the Steelers for Bill Nelson. Also, Eppie Barney to the Bears for the draft choice that became Doug Dieken. i think the most memorable bad trades have been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
