    NFL.com's Albert Breer recently labeled the Cleveland Browns a "wild card" to draft West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, perhaps after trading down from No. 6 overall.

    In this week's print edition of Sports Illustrated, Peter King has the Browns drafting Smith after trading down with the San Diego Chargers at No. 11 spot.

    "Don't let the smokescreen acquisition of Jason Campbell, a backup, fool you," King writes via The Repository. "Browns want a QB in this draft, and they get one."

    The hypothetical Browns-Chargers swap is a popular one in mock-draft circles, as San Diego would likely have to jump ahead of the Arizona Cardinals at No. 7 to land one of the draft's big three left tackles.

    Trading down would put the Browns at risk of losing Smith to a team such as the New York Jets, soon to be in possession of two first-round picks. Browns general manager Michael Lombardi could opt instead to go defense in the first round and address quarterback with the pick acquired in the trade.

    the qbs in this draft suck,so they should stick to weeden at least this season. I bet they are really cursing the previous regime for not trading up for rg3,especially ex gm Holmgren!

    That picture with the Browns jersey and all the qb names on the back will be too big for the internet soon at this rate.

    I've noticed an uptick in the last couple weeks. Not to say he's not always full of it
