One of the core mantras of Cleveland Browns GM Andrew Berry is the relentless acquisition of talent. Berry has already used two future draft picks to acquire Pro Bowl EDGE Za’Darius Smith from the Minnesota Vikings.
The Browns traded away fifth-round picks in both 2024 and 2025 to the Vikings for Smith, who was due a hefty contract and had previously requested either a trade or a release. Minnesota also sends back two 2025 picks, one each in the sixth and seventh rounds, to Cleveland to complete the deal.
