I am not a Cleveland Brown fan or NFL fan in general. Just like to see the former Bucks do well. I was curious about what the Browns roster would be like comparing their first round picks with the best available Buckeye, so here we go.
2006: Drafted Kamerion Wimbley / Best available was Bobby Carpenter
2007: Drafted Joe Thomas / Best available was Ted Ginn
Drafted Brady Quinn / Best available was Anthony Gonzalez
2008: No Pick
2009: Drafted Alex Mack / Best available was Beanie Wells
2010: Drafted Joe Haden / Best available was nobody...draft class was poo
2011: Drafted Phil Taylor / Best available was Cam Heyward
2012: Drafted Trent Richardson / Another poo draft class
Drafted Brandon Weeden / Another poo draft class
2013: Drafted Barky Mingo / Best available was Jon Hankins
2014: Drafted Justin Gilbert / Best available was Ryan Shazier
Drafted Johnny Football / Best available was Bradley Roby
2015: Drafted Danny Shelton / Best available Devin Smith
Drafted Cameron Erving / Best available Jeff Heuerman
2016: Drafted Corey Coleman / Best available was Taylor Decker / Michael Thomas / Darron Lee and of course 12 Gauge himself!
2017: Drafted Myles Garrett / Best available was Marshon Lattimore
Drafted Jabrill Peppers / Best available was Curtis Samuel
Drafted David Njoku / Best available was Raekwon McMillian
Not as bad as I originally thought, but def some head scratchers. This doesn't take into account "need" or Buckeyes passed on if they didn't trade down.
