3rd Round Pick: About the most I could tolerate
4th-7th Round Pick: I'm fine with that

Of course, would the Browns trade him for just a 3rd round pick or worse? I don't think so.

Not talking about you specifically but I think, in general, fans assign way to much value to draft picks. If you can trade a pick to upgrade a position immediately, you do it. Draft picks are a low percentage gamble anyway, even with Ballard, who is pretty good at drafting.

If you’re the Colts and you have Ehlinger and a tomato can at quarterback, you HAVE to do whatever it takes to change that, even if it means trading away premium draft picks.

Hell, look at the Rams. They trade picks like candy and they just won the super bowl.
