This. Richardson has not shown himself to be an elite back, and the Browns made a rational decision to take a talent hit in an unpromising season for a good chance to be a better team (if they don't botch their draft picks) in coming years.
Jacksonville has shown in the first two weeks that it's going to provide stiff competition for worst team in the league. When you're tanking for Clowney, you need to pull out all the stops.
Boooooooooo
I think the Browns made a good trade btw. Running backs tend to be a dime a dozen, and TR is not a once in a generation/draft talent. . But #1 picks are solid gold.
