Trade Analysis

Cleveland converted the outgoing package into superior franchise value. Cleveland received Tyrone Hill, while the other team received 1994 first round pick (protected top 7) (#16-Clifford Rozier) and other considerations based on the position of the pick (details unresolved). The Cleveland return supplied the superior combination of player contribution, draft outcome and roster fit; the outgoing side did not create comparable franchise value. The grade reflects realized value, contract and age context, the eventual use of draft assets and the transaction’s effect on Cleveland’s competitive window.
