Eagles trade with the Browns for No. 2 spot

The Cleveland Browns are trading the No. 2 pick in this year's NFL draft to the Philadelphia Eagles for five selections over the next two years.

The Browns get the 2016 first-round pick (No. 8 overall), the Eagles' third-round and fourth-round picks in 2016. They also get the Eagles' 2017 first-round pick and the Eagles' 2018 second-rounder.

The Eagles will get the Browns' 2016 first-round pick (no. 2 overall) and a conditional fourth-round pick from the the Browns in the 2017 draft.

I wonder where Paxton Lynch ends up?

If the QB the Iggles pick turns out to be the next franchise guy, it'll mean they used the Fins' original pick as part of the package to get him, and also that the Fins could have made the exact same trade, maybe even paying a little less because their draft position in every round was better.

In other words, it's actually in our best interest to hope the QB taken at #2 is a bust, or at least mediocre. Otherwise, this turns out to be perhaps the biggest draft day blunder the Fins have ever done, which would be saying something.

If he's available that just makes SO much sense, and you know he'd be getting the coaching he needs as opposed to being stuck in a dumpster fire. Now I am officially rooting for this to happen. I remember another QB who fell and fell in the draft a few years back. Some guy named Aaron Rodgers. He's had a fairly okayish career
