Trade David Njoku to Houston for a 2022 5th rounder or something. I’d be upset. Njoku can help. A 5th in 2 years doesn’t do anything for us right now. We should be in win now mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know much the FO would be in asset accumulation mode compared to a guy who can help right now in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) "Still, let’s not completely close the door on a Njoku trade. The Browns think Austin Hooper will be back after the bye week, and they clearly think they found a fourth-round gem last April in Harrison Bryant. But tight end is such a priority in Kevin Stefanski’s offense that it seems unlikely the Browns would be willing to give up Njoku at midseason." Well, maybe getting rid of Njoku at the deadline isn't as obvious as once thought. --From The Athletic Edited October 31, 2020 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be the star or best TE but he will get usage. Might be the best thing for him. Shine when you do get in. Don’t rack up the wear and tear, hit the market and sign a decent size contract.

candyman93 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) I still want Quinnen Williams if possible. I think he can turn into a Fletcher Cox for our defense. He needs to be in a 4-3.

candyman93 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Also, Breshad Perriman is “out” with an injury this week. He’s another realistic trade target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 IMO Njoku provides value in the slot and split out wide with OBJ hurt, and I think that the rest of 2020 he’s a guy who is more valuable to us than what he’d fetch in a trade until the off-season. Plus, if he produces down the stretch, we increase his trade value in the off-season and/or he finds a niche out wide/in the slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be in a 4-3. I don’t see Williams turning into that pass rusher that Cos is/was but Williams would be huge in the run defense. Can’t remember where I saw it but one of those fancy graphs had Williams rated as one of the best run defenders for IDL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2ThaIzzo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 We would be better off to keep Njoku and let him showcase his growth and his athleticism while helping us win, rather than trade for a 5th or later pick. If we elect not to resign him in the offseason, someone else will pick him up, and we will likely get a compensation pick out of him anyways. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugpimpen Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 We shouldn't be in win now mode because we can't win now. Defense is trash. We are still a year away at least. We know the elite teams can dominate us. If we trade for anyone I would expect it to not be a short term rental. We are trying to build a sustainable system and that's what we are doing so far. We will make the playoffs and lose in the first round no matter what we do this deadline. Its a great step for the team, just keep our fan expectations realistic.

I would expect them to be close games. I agree with the rest, we really aren't chasing the SB this year but I don't think that it is that we can't compete with good teams even though we haven't done it so far. I think we just are unlikely to beat those teams when the last team to score will win because their defense is a lot better than ours, pretty much no matter who they are.

While you still have cap room. Also winning now can help Baker and co. The young vets, get use to winning, and experiencing winning. Something they need. They need to be making trades, just by the chance their are injuries or someone gets held out because of Covid. Also stranger stuff has happened in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather steer clear for now. Now if it's a fire sale and we can get him for maybe Njoku and a third, I'm taking that call. tl;dr shut up, Tayne, you mf'n potato.
