NFL Trade Verdict

Cleveland Browns Win

Denver acquired 2017 5th round pick (145th overall, Jake Butt) and 2017 5th round pick (175th overall subsequently traded, DeAngelo Yancey) from Cleveland Browns for 2017 4th round pick (126th overall, Howard Wilson) and 2017 7th round pick (252nd overall, Matthew Dayes). This was primarily a draft-position exchange, with Denver reshaping its pick stack rather than adding an established player. The grades stay conservative because the historical value depends on how the selected players developed after the swap.
