Cleveland moved Danny Shelton and a fifth-rounder for a future third-round pick. New England received useful defensive-line depth, but Cleveland's draft-capital return was the stronger side.

Cleveland Browns Received

  • pick 2019 3rd round pick (95th overall subsequently traded, Oshane Ximines)

New England Patriots Received

  • player Danny Shelton
  • pick 2018 5th round pick (159th overall subsequently traded, Daurice Fountain)

Trade Analysis

Cleveland holds the edge because the future third-round value outweighed New England's player-and-fifth package.
