I like it. We need all the help we can get on the D Line. Hopefully it turns out better than the Kony Ealy deal from last year.

Typical pats move. Young guy they probably liked coming out of college who is on a cheap contract that the team controls for 2 years. Low risk yet good upside

The pats are hit & miss with these type of moves.

Good move by the Browns to get something for him. He just isn't the guy he was projected to be. Why keep him around for another season if you don't plan to resign him? Hit the reset button & fill his roster spot with someone else who is hopefully more productive.

Dorsey is doing a solid job so far.....Browns fans should be hopeful and cautiously optimistic.

Chubb, Brantley, Ogunjobi, and Garrett would be straight up nasty. Just saying...

If the Browns are 'in love' with one of these QB prospects, they should just go 'all-in' and acquire a third early first round pick. They have plenty of draft capital. Then draft Barkley, Chubb and a QB.

good get :suds:

Danny Shelton - DL - Patriots
Patriots acquired DT Danny Shelton and a 2018 fifth-round pick from the Browns in exchange for the Patriots' third-round pick in 2019.

Shelton was the Browns 1st-round pick in 2015 out of Washington. He was a contributor to their elite run defense in 2017 and graded as a top-20 interior defender against the run according to Pro Football Focus. Despite his success, this seems to be a beneficial trade for both teams. The Browns will likely rely more on former third-round pick Larry Ogunjobi who excelled in his 2017 rookie campaign. It also fills a big hole for the Patriots after not exercising DT Alan Branch's 2018 team option. Shelton will likely be used as a role player against teams that frequently use heavy packages and especially in run-stuffing situations, something the Patriots struggled with in 2017.

I don’t pretend to know anything about the draft class but I think it was Mayock who said Chubb would normally be a mid to late 1st but this draft is weak at DE and he’s the top pass rusher. We shall see.
