(I'm presuming the Packers make the playoffs, with their pick no earlier than 26 and the Browns being terrible, with a pick around 4 again.) I figure the best we could do would be to give them the three players, our 1st round pick, and swap 3rds.  Your proposal has much more in common with, "I'll give you our backup punter that has a bad ACL for your all Pro Left Tackle" than a real trade.</blockquote>
