Apparently, it is the 5th rounder we got for trading Kenny Pickett.

A first-round pick in 2019, Howard started 93 games over seven seasons in Houston. The veteran is a solid pass blocker, particularly on the right side but has struggled in run blocking throughout his career.
The acquisition brings position flexibility to Cleveland. Howard can play right tackle or slide inside to either guard spot. In 2025, he played 628 snaps at right tackle, 402 at left guard and 132 at right guard.

Good move.
A starting tackle for a 5th rounder.
Former first rounder.
You are not getting a starting tackle in the 5th round.

Curious if they’re thinking tackle or guard. Thing I read said he was most recently a guard. Either way, a 5th for a starter is pretty awesome. Didn’t realize we had that much money tbh.

I'm surprised they went back to Houston for their OL castoffs... but beggars can't be choosers. If he can make us feel at least a little bit more comfy when we let Conklin off the roster, then we are better for it.

I already think Watt is one of the more overrated players, but here you go anyways....

Getting Howard frees up options.
They can go a number of ways now.
Including possibly drafting Simpson.

With so many open positions on the OL it helps. It's the first drop in the bucket. They still need more drops.
If they don't see a legitimate LT high in this draft, you certainly don't select a G at #6. That would leave the door open for a dynamic play maker like Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate or a trade down.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Texans clearing the way for their other big ticket contract extensions, Howard wanted to be paid like a T and not a G, and the Browns get a versatile starter on the OL.
Biggest benefit is that Howard has been healthy and played in 16 games in each of the past two seasons.

I still hope they trade back and get another 1st next year and maybe collect more picks in the 2-5 rounds where the guards/ center and tackle depth usually land. God I hope they don’t reach for Simpson. I’ll be especially ok in that scenario if they take a WR with the 1st pick.

Cheaper in money? No.
Cheaper in draft capital? Most certainly, yes.
