Overview
- An ESPN documentary clip shows Browns GM Andrew Berry taking a call from Cowboys executive Stephen Jones while Cleveland was on the clock at No. 9, then declining Dallas’s request to move up.
- The Cowboys offered picks Nos. 12 and 20 for Nos. 9 and 24, later adding a fifth-rounder, in an effort to jump to a spot seen as key to landing Ohio State safety Caleb Downs.
- After Cleveland passed, Dallas traded with Miami to reach No. 11 and drafted Downs after the Giants selected tackle Francis Mauigoa at No. 10.
- Cleveland stayed put at No. 9 for Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano and later added Texas A&M receiver KC Concepcion, having earlier slid from No. 6 to No. 9 in a deal with Kansas City.
- The new footage has prompted praise for Berry’s discipline and fresh scrutiny of Dallas’s approach, with coverage also noting the Cowboys later moved No. 20 to the Eagles.
