Revisiting the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, it's clear now the Giants fleeced the Browns

In March of 2019, the New York Giants traded Odell Beckham to the Cleveland Browns. In return, the Giants received first- and third-round picks in the 2019 NFL draft, along with safety Jabrill Peppers.

It might be hard to remember now, but the immediate reaction was fairly slanted in one direction: Giants general manager Dave Gettleman got screwed. The Browns got Beckham, the star receiver of their dreams. End of story.

Funny how much a few years can change perspectives.

Gettleman was pilloried for what he received in the deal and the trade itself.
