Buzz grows around Browns potentially trading No. 4 pick
There are plenty of hints that the Cleveland Browns are very seriously considering trading back in the NFL Draft.
After a report earlier Wednesday indicated that there were discussions about trading the No. 4 pick in the draft, ESPN’s Adam Schefter went a step further, reporting that the Browns are actively shopping the selection.
Not just the Denver Broncos talking about trading back; so are the Cleveland Browns, who have shopped the No. 4 overall pick, per sources.

As if that wasn’t enough, coach Hue Jackson dropped more hints that a trade was definitely under consideration.
#Browns head coach Hue Jackson to me this afternoon on whether he thinks the team will stay pat at the 4th overall pick or trade out: "One thing I know is that we'll do what we think is best for the organization. There are a lot of different scenarios that can happen."

It’s certainly not a denial. Trading the No. 4 pick would shake up the draft while also allowing Cleveland to nab a quarterback and get more picks to fill needs later on.
