This is not a rumor. This is not a report. This is simply connecting the dots of where the Cleveland Browns are with their draft capital, the trends of general manager Andrew Berry, and where the holes on their roster are compared to the depth at those positions in the 2023 NFL Draft. Brace yourself, the Browns and Berry will very strongly consider trading back out of the 42nd overall pick to add more draft capital in both the NFL Draft and next year’s festivities.
Through three drafts with Berry, he has never once held on to his original second round pick. In 2020, he traded down with the Indianapolis Colts, picking up another day-two pick the following year before selecting safety Grant Delpit. In 2021, Berry opted to move up in the second round to nab linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Then again in 2022, Berry sold his pick to the Houston Texans, who selected wide receiver John Metchie.
