I wonder if this move isn't as crazy as it seems. Richardson has already had his share of nicks and bruises. His career YPC is around 3.5. If he was to have 350 touches this year for 1500 total yards, what would his trde value be? Could you trade a player like that for a second round pick? Most backs have about 6 good years, and two of Richardson's will be done after this one.

I think it is a good move for the Colts, but maybe it's not as bad for the Browns as it seems. Where it looks bad is that the previous regime moved past Minnesota to pick Richardson 3rd, when everyone knew the Vikings would draft Kalil, and after they lost out on trading for RG3.
