The Browns should look to maximize their number of picks by trading down multiple times in this round. The first target should be a trade to the Minnesota Vikings at the #7 slot, who are in desperate need of a WR or a QB and would be eyeing Calvin Johnson or Brady Quinn. Trading down to this spot would get us their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounder according to the pick value chart.
Not stopping there. The Browns should ship the pick to the 49ers who are looking hard at DTs Alan Branch and Amobi Okoye. To make this trade the Browns would receive the 49ers 1st, 3rd, and 6th round picks.
Then the Browns should finally trade down from the 11th spot to the 16th pick of the Packers. The Packers will be looking to leapfrog Buffalo, who is looking for a RB, to select Marshawn Lynch. For this the Browns would receive the Packers 1st, 3rd, and 5th round picks.
With the 16th pick the Browns should pick OT Levi Brown of Penn State if he is somehow still on the board. However since that is not likely, the team should select CB Chris Houston of Arkansas. Houston jumped into the middle of the 1st round with his amazing numbers at the combine, posting sub 4.35 40s, great quickness, and strength surpassing most LBs. Houston is not limited to being a workout warrior either. He shut down such notable WRs as Dwayne Jarrett, Earl Bennett, Dallas Baker, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, and Courtney Taylor. The only WR who got the best of Houston this year was Sidney Rice. Houston will be a great, tough, cover corner who will also come up and defend the run on the edge.
Net of picks. Acquired 41st pick in 2nd round, 72nd, 76th, and 78th in 3rd, 147th in 5th, and 171st in the 6th.
