Kirk Cousins now is in the midst of a long-term contract negotiation, his top two wide receivers left via free agency, the Redskins defense is coming off a historically bad season, the new defensive coordinator Greg Manusky along with the team’s new additions is having positive reviews so far this off-season, and the front office is fresh out of a messy divorce with their former general manager Scot McCloughan and made an in-house replacement with Doug Williams under a different title.

    In a lot of ways the Browns have already started to do this. They are starting to trade down from high positions in the draft to acquire more draft picks, and draft players that are less risky. A good example of this is the trade they did with the Eagles last year where the Browns traded down from their second pick in the draft to acquire five picks(Sheridan).
