No...its just obvious the Browns made a mistake trading up to get Richardson in the first place when nobody else was coming to get him. The Vikings were taking Kalil and nobody else was trading up to get Richardson. The Browns ended up drafting a QB and a RB in the first round anyways. Its not a hindsight stretch to just change the RB and QB they got. They could have stayed at #4 and took Tannehill and gotten Martin at 22 (and kept a 4th round pick) and they'd be in better shape then the two firsts they took who are unlikely to be on the roster even 2 seasons later.

And the Browns actually found a way to mitigate their mistake quickly. If anything I'm praising the Browns for realizing their mistake and actually getting not just good value but incredible value back. Again after the trade happened most people (myself included) mocked the Browns but with a bit more evaluation its looking they got a terrific deal. Unless Richardson becomes a top 5 back they win this trade going away. 3 yards a carry is terrible for even a mediocre running back let alone one taken in the top 5 (and that's his career average, not just his average with the Colts). Richardson really needs to become a much better runner for this to not be a terrible trade from Indy's perspective, one that could get even worse if there ends up being a player they could really use available where they would have been picking next year. Running backs have little to no value in todays NFL, and the Colts gave up a first round pick, one of the NFLs most valuable commodities, to get one.
