Surprise! We hinted at this type of moving happening earlier, and the Browns were able to acquire a third first-round draft pick. Getting what you can for Joe Thomas is imperative for Cleveland, and with Cam Robinson on board Thomas becomes a luxury. Seattle is desperate for a tackle, and gets one of the best in the league.

While the asking price for Thomas was higher than just a first, Cleveland takes what they can get.

Once again quarterbacks were on the table, but at this moment the Browns want to take reliable prospects they can build around. Losing Alex Mack was a major step back for the Browns, and we saw what a great center can do for a team like Atlanta. Drafting the best center in this year’s class with Pat Elflein made sense for a young team. They had a ton of picks thanks to the Eagles trade, and have taken full advantage of that.
