The Browns traded up for the second time today, acquiring the Jets’ No. 160 selection. They took Florida State offensive lineman Roderick Johnson after making the move. The Browns traded pick No. 181 (fifth round) and pick No. 188 (sixth) to the Jets to make the move. They also received pick No. 224 from the Jets in the swap (Twitter link via Jeff Schudel of The News-Herald).
Cleveland also made a deal with Denver earlier today to acquire the Broncos’ fourth-round selection, along with a seventh. The Browns traded two fifth-rounders for that right. They selected cornerback Howard Wilson from Houston in the fourth.
These moves come two days after the Browns traded out of their No. 12 overall spot, with the Texans moving up 13 spots for the right to draft Deshaun Watson. The Browns then took Jabrill Peppers before trading back into the first round and adding receiving tight end David Njoku.
The 6-foot-7 Johnson will join former Seminoles teammate Cameron Erving on the Browns’ line, one that’s been partially remade via additions of Kevin Zeitler and J.C. Tretter this offseason.
He had better be an improvement over Cam Erving. Then again, can’t be very hard to achieve that.
Well, just watched some tape of him, and he stinks, too.
You’re expecting way too much out of a 5th rounder so don’t expect him to be fantastic
I’m expecting a little more intelligence on later round picks.
