I was mad till i found out it was a 6th Rounder in 2024.
Otherwise- i was thinking it was Berry’s job to pick up the phone and find a team (other than BAL/PIT) that would take our 7th Rounder and select probably future starter Guard from USC *FOR FREE* from us.
Just to damn keep him away from PIT/BAL
HOW U GONNA FEEL IN 3 yrs about our 6th Rounder when BAL is running out the game against us behind that 7th Rd Guard we handed them????

This player, UDFA edge from Kansas, who AB signed right after the draft, was reportedly the target with this pick anyway. He somewhat sounds like a slightly longer and taller version of Genard Avery. Had a higher profile score, slightly less athletic score, and benched 31 reps of 225 (Avery did 26). An Ohio kid. Also, known as a head-hunter special teamer too.

Lonnie Phelps is a great player, and Cleveland knows it.
On day three of the 2023 NFL Draft, there were rumors floating around that the Browns were actually targeting Phelps with their final pick. They ultimately decided to trade that pick to Baltimore in order to accrue more 2024 NFL draft capital.
As soon as the draft ended, Andrew Berry swooped in and gave Phelps a sizeable UDFA contract. The Browns seemingly did their due diligence on Lonnie Phelps heading into the draft, and they were ultimately able to acquire him without having to spend draft capital.
He's an incredibly twitchy player, with above average burst and quickness in the same mold as current Browns free agent addition Ogbo Okoronkwo. He also has an incredibly strong and put-together upper body as well, having performed 31 reps of 225 Lbs. at the NFL Combine in February.
Phelps also provides the team with an energetic, productive special teams player as well. He was known throughout his collegiate career as a devastating "headhunter" on kickoff and punt teams. He'd provide the team with solid rotational pass rush reps as well as a committed special teams ace, with an exponential amount of room for growth.

Revisiting this trade …
The Ravens drafted Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, OT, Oregon, with the pick they acquired from us.
He had a rough preseason, reportedly missing a lot of reads and blocks. He was then promptly moved to guard, squeaked on to the 53-man, and has been inactive every game. Zero snaps.
Thus far, no harm on this move.
I guess kind of by comparison, we also draft a lineman in the 6th round. Wypler. He was a top rated IOL in the preseason but is stuck behind the best interior OL in the NFL.
The preseason OL stats (this is for all positions):
• Wypler 123 snaps, ranked #8, 76.4 overall grade, and a 81.4 run blocking grade (which was first among centers)
• Aumavae-Laulu, ranked #93, 27.9 overall grade. Horrible vs other back-ups.
That’s out of 94 graded O-lineman
It’s likely neither will be probowlers, but our 6th round OL selection has done better than their 6th round OL selection, thus far.
