Traded Julio for a bunch of flotsam.
In 2009, the Browns traded the pick that ended up being Mark Sanchez for 3 players, only down 12 spots in round 1, and picked up a 2nd rounder. Then traded that 1st down again for a sixth rounder ,then traded down again for another sixth rounder.
The only player who got to 2011 out of all of that was alex mack (hey a good browns pick for once!) and because it's the browns--the pick immediately after they picked a bust in the 2nd round was lesean mccoy.
Passing up on top QB prospect for a center, idk man, idk.
The browns traded down in 2006 one spot and picked up an extra pick. The ravens took haloti ngata, the browns took kameron wimbley. Wimbley had a strong rookie year then just so-so after that before trading him for the pick that became colt mccoy, but you know who ngata is. Other guy only played a few games for cle.
Trading up doesn't go well for cle either, Manziel, Richardson, Brady Quinn (tho felix jones + kolb didn't amount to much). Kellen Winslow (passing up on roeth bonus) for Roy Williams + a 2nd rounder (it was one spot, lol). They traded up a spot to get gilbert, that pick they gave up was anthony barr.
oh fun fact, that Julio Trade, they traded back up for phil taylor, giving up a 3rd round pick because it's the browns, that pick ended up being Justin Houston. (browns would never have drafted him anyway obv)
