CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns are open to trading up for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota Thursday night in the first round of the draft, but is the Heisman Trophy winner worth surrendering the No. 12 and No. 19 overall picks -- and more -- if that's what it takes?
The Browns' interest in Mariota is very real, several NFL sources have told Northeast Ohio Media Group, but only at the right price. Mariota could go as high as No. 2 overall to the Titans or to a team trading into that pick providing the Bucs draft top-rated quarterback Jameis Winston as expected.
