Trade was good both ways. Browns got a 1st round pick probably in the 24-32 range and the Colts got a 22 year old RB who was drafted 3rd overall a few years ago. With Ballard injured prior to the trade and Bradshaw having injury troubles prior to the trade (he is now out for the year), it was a no brainer for Indy. Richardson and Donald Brown are now the 2 RB's for the rest of the year. He's at least made the other team respect the Colts' running game with his presence. It gives Luck another option on top of the Wayne/Hilton air attack.
Both teams did well in the trade.
