Browns reportedly determined No. 17 overall pick only had second-round value

The Cleveland Browns sent a clear signal to the rest of the NFL with last week’s trade for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The trade cost the Browns starting safety Jabrill Peppers along with their first-round pick in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft - the No. 17 overall selection - and a third-round selection (No. 95 overall).

It might be a wee bit disappointing to see the Browns without a first-round selection come the night of the draft, but general manager John Dorsey paid what looks to be a fair price for Beckham, a three-time Pro Bowl selection who has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards four times in his five years in the league.
