Trade Analysis
Cleveland moved from No. 26 to No. 22 for Johnny Manziel, while Philadelphia moved down for Marcus Smith and added a third-round asset. Cleveland's move for Johnny Manziel did not yield a franchise quarterback, while Philadelphia's Marcus Smith result also fell short of first-round expectations. The Eagles' added third-round value helps, but neither side created a decisive advantage. With no decisive separation, the current C/C grading and Even Trade verdict remain appropriate.
