With the Browns first 2nd rounder I would look at Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas. Though not highly regarded before the season, Houston shut down Dwayne Jarrett, Robert Meachem, Dwayne Bowe, and Earl Bennett when he matched up with them one-on-one. A truly impressive run if you ask me that indicates his ability to raise his level of play in the spotlight and with the . Additionally Houston is a great tackler when supporting the run. If Blalock were selected in the 1st round I would look at Joe Staley, LT, CMU, with this pick. Staley is a former TE with great footwork and quickness against the pass rush, but is lacking the strength to be a great drive blocker.
With the Browns second 2nd rounder I would trade down about ten spots and pick up a mid range 5th rounder in the process. With the newly acquired second rounder I would select Jonathan Harrell, DT, Tennessee. Harrell is a large and powerful force at the point of attack who will be a great replacement for Ted Washington next season and giving him breathers this season. He is even quick enough to play at one of the DE spots on running downs. Harrell is so tough and passionate that he played the entire Florida game with a torn biceps that he injured the week before, going so far as to even attempt arm tackles with his bad arm.
The net effect of the trade was an additional 5th rounder.
