Browns trade Shelton to Patriots

[patsfaninpa]

He might be the biggest DT i’ve ever seen...

BB is a chubby chaser. Sorry Linda.

Hey Dorsey! While you’re in the giving spirit, why don’t you go ahead and bestow Myles Garrett upon us too?

Let’s say....for a 2020 6th rounder?? I mean, you didn’t draft him...right??

Whudaya say??

 

[JayNM]

Man, if he is our 3rd best DT in 2019, we are going to have the same problems we had in 2018.

Honestly, the value of this trade is good for sure, the player is simply bad...

EDIT - It was a 3rd round pick in 2019. Now i don't like this trade anymore

EDIT 2 - We got a 4th back, so im ok again

pats give up 2019 3rd rounder. I don't think we necessarily "fleeced" them...

We essentially traded down from the end of day 3 in 2019 by ~ 40 spots for a great NT and moved the pick into this year. That is pretty great value..

 

[TBR]

I wanted the Pats to draft him a couple years ago. He's been practically invisible to me ever since the Browns drafted him, so I have no idea how well he's played. I was actually trying to remember his name yesterday.

I believe we’ll be getting the 138th pick.

So we’ll have two picks from 136-138. Solid.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Damn, a little steeper than I thought. But the 5th we’re getting this year will almost essentially be a 4th rounder, so I’m okay with it.

Think of it this way, If solder leaves we’d be getting a comp pick pretty close to the (hopefully) late 3rd we lost

If he ends up anchoring the run defense like he should, and with the general notion that next year's picks have less value than this year's, this could very well end up a fleecing. It's very hard to find guys like him and nigh impossible with picks in the 90s.

 

[Uptown]

Nice combo of Brown, Shelton, Guy and Valentine as your DTs. Good group.

The Browns have been invisible for 10 years. Hard to evaluate their players
when they are stuck in a dumpster fire like they were.

Admittedly, I know practically nothing about the guy, though I do vaguely remember watching him get drafted. For a team trying to get younger on defense, and in win-now mode - I can't complain about the price tag on a run-stuffer. I will trust they know what they're doing, and, when the IR team comes back, perhaps things aren't so bad overall. I can only hope that Jordan Richards transitions to coach, or, to ruin another team's title dreams.

 

[Ring 6]

Nice to see bb addressing the most important issue the 2017 defense has.

Man, if he is our 3rd best DT in 2019, we are going to have the same problems we had in 2018.

???????

Can you at least explain what part of his game you dont like ?

 

[TomPatriot]

Shelton's college draft scouting report closest comparison was.... Vince Wilfork.

Not quite Vince, but a good player. Good against the run and he needs to be blocked and often doubled because he has good hands and is really strong/agile. That makes running inside traps a problem. The Pats have just become a pain to run against. So what’s the catch?

 

[Uptown]

Now, send that 2018 5th round pick to PHI for CB Darby or NO for FS/SS Vaccaro.

Very good point

If you're basing him being bad on his stats, let me offer you a preemptive LOL.

 

[Joey007]

I think what’s most exciting here is that you know this is only the beginning.

Many more moves to come.

 

[luuked]

So what’s the catch?

As the number #12 pick his fifth year option wont be cheap.
