#3 Pick to Browns for #12 Pick, 2nd Rounder and CB Joe Haden
Why it’s possible:
Cleveland is overloaded with high draft choices. They have two first and two second round picks. Also they seem intent on overhauling the roster from top to bottom. That means shipping off veteran players however they can. Word has been out for awhile that they’re interested in moving cornerback Joe Haden.
Mentioned on #NFLGameDay one big name that's been part of trade talks: #Browns CB Joe Haden. If he shows he's healthy, this could ramp up

Haden turns 28-years old in April of this year. He’s dealt with some injury problems the past couple years but played well in 13 games for the Browns last season, notching three interceptions. He’s a two-time Pro Bowl cornerback who can play lock down coverage on the outside. That is exactly something the Bears secondary doesn’t have.

Packaging him and a second round choice (remember they have two), the Browns could be in prime position to make two of the first three picks in the entire 2017 draft. In other words they could get stud pass rusher Myles Garrett #1 as expected, and then possibly have their choice of the top quarterbacks as well depending on what San Francisco does at #2. Meanwhile Chicago gets an extra high pick and a potentially huge boost to their pass coverage.
