The Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos are close to a trade that would strongly bolster the Browns backfield before the draft while giving Denver their second first-round DE in two days.

Sources have told FOXSports.com that the Browns and Broncos are in deep talks regarding a trade that would send last year's Broncos breakout back Reuben Droughns to Cleveland for defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban.
I think the Browns are giving to much up for a RB. There are some RB's out there I think that could be traded for cheaper. And I am not a fan of giving up defense and good young defense guys for offense....

Ekuban was rather unimpactful last year, I wouldn't miss him. Plus he'd be good insurance for the no doubt 5 games Suggs will miss due to injuries.

What the hell are the Broncos doing though Warren, Brown, Ekuban? The Browns defense wasn't very good, but they're salivating over our D-line. This is why Denver is always on the wrong side of the fine line between making the playoffs and competing in them.

This trade doesn't make a lot of sence for either team. Cleveland now has 3 starting runningbacks, and lost both of it's starting ends to Denver.

Denver gets another defencive end, and Ekuban isn't that good.

Well, the Browns don't like/want Willie Green (neither does anyone else) and they don't believe Suggs can be healthy for an entire season. I think they'll make this move because they are close to signing Marquis Daniels who'd be a good upgrade on the line and would make Ekuban expendable.

So, the Bronco's now have the entire starting defencive line the Browns had last year???

No, the Browns kept the only worthwhile starters in Kenard Lang and Orpheus Roye.

I don't believe Myers started too much, but with all the injuries there was quite a few starters. I think Lang and Roye both started at least 14 games.
