  The shook Andre Iguodala Jersey up the draft on Wednesday, trading down from the No. 2 overall pick to No. 8 while picking up four additional selections -- No. 77 and 100 this year, a first-round pick in 2017, and a second-round pick in 2018 -- for their troubles. Because they are so badly in need of a quarterback and traded out of a position to potentially draft their franchise pa ser, there were some that read the trade as signaling that the Browns were not enamored with the QBs at the top of this year's cla s.That was not the case, according to executive vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, who noted that the driving force behind the trade was that gaggle of extra picks the Browns picked up this year and over the next two.I think that could certainly be the implication, thats not nece Golden State Warriors Jeresy sarily the driver of the decision. We think Wentz and Goff at this point are pretty consensus one and two in terms of the quarterbacks. Theres some other talented quarterbacks in the draft as well, but this shouldnt be interpreted as an indictment at all on their potential to be good starting quarterbacks in this league, Brown Baron Davis Jersey said, .Brown specifically noted how much extra draft value the team picked up with the trade as well. Whenever we have an opportunity to have very valuable draft capital not only a lot but very valuable draft capital an extra one and an extra two in the next years we like that positioning and as Ive said we have a plan, were going to stick to it," he said. "Were confident well produce results.The Browns now own six of the draft's top-100 picks and 12 selections in all -- they have No. 8, 32, 65, 77, 99, 100, 138, 141, 172, 173, 176, and Wilt Chamberlain Jersey 223. That's 2,804.6 points on the coming their way this year, and they also own an extra first-round pick (worth 590-3,000 points, depending on where the finish next season) in 2017 and a surplus second-rounder (270-580) in 2018.Because of the crapshoot nature of the draft, simply giving yourself more rolls of the dice is often the smart play when you have a roster as devoid of top-end talent as Cleveland's. It appears the Browns are taking that to heart, since Brown also did not rule out another trade down the Kaleb Wesson Jersey board from No. 8. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cleveland start racking up extra picks over the next few years as they attempt to build their roster from the ground up.
