Deal for Browns:

With 4 sacks last year at 320 pounds, Williams was actually one of the Browns best defensive players (not saying much). They could have gotten a lot more value for him than they did.

Grade: C

Deal for Lions:

Brilliant. Corey Williams only had 4.5 sacks over the last 2 years in Cleveland’s 3-4, but he had 7 sacks (at 320 pounds) in each of his last two years in a 4-3. He’s a perfect fit for Detroit’s scheme next to Sammie Lee Hill and he allows the Lions to trade down from the 2^nd pick because they no longer need Ndamukong Suh. They could get a lot more value out of that pick if they traded it and Suh is the type of player that teams will trade up into the top 3 to get. You know any team picking from 4-9 (with the exception of Kansas City because their loaded at the position and Oakland because their GM is “dead”) would love to move up into that 2^nd spot to get Suh and Detroit could get themselves at least a 2010 and a 2011 2^nd for moving down just a few spots.
