The Cleveland Browns are still trying hard to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo and now have more draft picks to deal away.
Cleveland acquired Brock Osweiler, a 2018 second-round pick, and a 2017 6th-round pick from the Houston Texans for a 2017 4th-round pick.
The Browns have the Nos. 1 and 12 picks this year, two second-round picks this year, and three second-round picks next year, in addition to their first-round pick in 2018.
The Browns have been aiming to acquire Garoppolo, but the New England Patriots’ asking price has been very high. The Pats reportedly are seeking the No. 1 overall pick, while the Browns may be willing to trade the No. 12 pick, according to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot.
Cleveland reportedly wants edge rusher Myles Garrett at No. 1 overall.
The Browns clearly do not view Osweiler as a quarterback of the future for them, but could put the second-round pick they acquired for him to good use if they include it in a package for Garoppolo.
The Pats’ second-round pick in 2014, Jimmy G. passed for 502 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions last season while going 2-0 as the team’s starter.
