Ted Thompson. Thompson didn't think he was worth $38M and a 2nd round draft pick. I can't give Thompson too much credit. It was just too good to pass up.

I think if Cleveland had the choice to make over again, I think they would not trade a 2 for him and pay him $38 million. I think if Ted had the choice to make, he would do the exact same thing though he would probably not draft Brohm.

Williams did very, very little for Cleveland last year.

Oddly enough, I don't think the Browns think he's worth that much anymore either. He was nothing more than a body on the line for them this year.

TT changed his area code to 216 for a second rounder.

Lol, when I read the thread title I thought that he actually had gone missing, milk-carton style.

lol me too

im not sure the op ... well, nvm...

It was bad for both teams. The Browns overpaid him and the Packers missed him.

I honestly think Brohm has a good chance of coming through and redeeming himself. The backup QB is very important for competitive teams that don't have an Ironman. We could also trade him for a high pick down the road.

We did miss Corey Williams, but that does not make it a bad move. It was the best move possible because the positives outweighed the negatives. Making the choice Ted made is better than making the other choice in hindsight. I guess that is the definition of a decison turning out to be the right one.

I wonder what TT's options were as far as a pay scale for Williams?!?! I don't remember if CW & the Packers ever got to a $$ amount to keep him..

If the offer was less than $38 mil and CW refused, then it may have been a "bad move" by TT to delve deeper into it.. He knows the importance of D-linemen..

If the offer was around the same, and CW refused, then maybe it was a "good" move by TT to not overpay..

I can't see the picks of two QBs as a "good" move... not just yet anyway.

we did miss him, but we really ripped off the brows with the trade

and he got a massive deal he will never be worth

everything would have been fine if justin harrell would have worked out

plus, now that we know we need help at DT we might be able to get a guy equal to corey williams, but for much cheaper

i'll never fault TT for that trade. a hate the lack of depth we have, but i don't hate that trade

[HarveyWallbangers]

Brohm doesn't really figure into the trade and not signing Thompson, as far as the trade itself is concerned, since Thompson had no way of knowing Brohm would be the pick. Now, if Brohm fails, then Thompson failed to capitalize on a sweet deal.

Come on. Corey Williams was going to be a FA, got paid $38M, and we got a second round pick for him. Think about that.

[Cleft Crusty]

The Browns have been looking for Williams since the third week of the season. I'll let you know if they ever find him.

The Packers really needed Williams this past season. They needed someone who could get 4-5 sacks against the Lions, and he was that guy.

I thought, "No shit, the Browns have considered him missing all season."
