Don't expect one last surprise from Phil Savage on draft day.
The Browns general manager has nothing up his sleeves to improve on the team's first draft position of No. 122 overall in the fourth round.
"We're kind of content just sitting where we are," Savage said Wednesday at his annual pre-draft news conference.
But what if . . .
Some team makes an unex pected trade of fer for quarter back Derek Anderson?
"I don't think anybody's going to call," Savage said. "I think they know he's off the table this year."
A highly rated player so entices Savage that he considers trading a 2009 draft pick to move up?
"I can't even create a circumstance in my mind that would get us into the top 63 picks," he said. "We've kind of eliminated that from our thought process. We're going to watch the draft like any observer of the NFL would and see how our board holds up."
