BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns made another offseason trade with Houston, dropping to the third round to take Mississippi State cornerback Martin Emerson in the NFL draft. Following the blockbuster deal to acquire quarterback Deshaun Watson last month, Browns general manager Andrew Berry had the Texans on speed dial and reached out to them in the second round. The Browns traded three first-round picks for Watson.

The Browns also selected UAB defensive end Alex Wright.
