Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Cleveland traded former first-round offensive lineman Cam Erving to Kansas City on August 30, 2017 for a 2018 fifth-round pick. That selection became No. 159 and was later included in the Browns' Danny Shelton trade with New England rather than used directly by Cleveland. The Browns recovered movable draft value from a player who had not justified his original draft status.
Trade 2 of 2
Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots completed this exchange on 2018-03-14. Cleveland received a future third-round pick, while New England received Danny Shelton and a fifth-round selection. Both teams realized usable value, but Cleveland's stronger future draft asset creates the slight hindsight edge. The final grades are C+ for Cleveland and C for New England, producing a Cleveland Browns Win verdict.
