For moving down those two spots, they picked up only a sixth round pick from both the Bucs and Eagles.

Am I missing something here? Was there more to the story? I know there's a numerical chart which assigns value for each pick, but it just seems like that was a small price for the Bucs and Eagles to pay. If I'm a Browns fan, I don't like moving down a total of 4 spots in the first round for two lousy 6th round picks.

I was saying the same thing, not a lot of value for all the transactions. Vinny did much better for us last year, but as sfredskin would point out, they did get A. Mack.
