    1957, when Gipper was 2yrs. old was last time the Browns had a notable draft class. I find that hard to believe. The following lists include teams that have not won championships, so winning championships is not a criteria.

    We saw a Browns team play in the AFC championship game 3 times. I find that hard to believe that the Browns did not have a top notch draft class in the 80's. The historian that he his I trust Gipper to shed some light on this above everyone else. The '58 Packers on one of these lists, but no 60's Browns team???C'mon man.

    Browns absent here:

    Hell, even the Bungles made this list... and the Ravens. The Hated Ones 3 times. But not us.

    Not here either.

    The 73 Bills??  You kidding me? Never even heard of these guys.

    Here we go.

    1957 is the last time we had a notable draft class. Right.

    Seems we are always getting pooped on.

      A.  I was born in 1952....so I would have been 5 in 1957.

      B.  Yes, 1957 is when the Browns drafted JB and Hickerson.   They also drafted Henry Jordan....and Milt Plum, a pretty good QB.  Any listiing of the Top 10-25 drafts that does not include one with 3 HOFers and  2 time Pro Bowl QB  is deficient......as:

      C.  The Steelers 1974 draft is pretty inarguable as the best with the 4 HOFers  .....but the Browns 3 in one year may be next, tied with maybe only a couple of other team draft classes in history.

      D. I have seen a Browns Championship....1964. 

      E.  The Browns had a pretty fair first round in 1978, with both Clay Matthews and Ozzie Newsome.   But honestly past that, the best player drafted that year was a punter.   Both Clay and Ozzie were big contributors in those 80s AFC contenders.   The thing also about that era...is that you did not include the  Supplemental drafts of 1984....:   1.  Normal Supplemental draft:  Bernie Kosar.   2.  USFL distribution draft:  Kevin Mack, Frank Minnifield, Mike Johnson....and, I think Ice Cube  McNeil

                                          Well....see the link above.  At 73 still having Sex  twice a day.   So, apparently it is more than just they Thighmaster.   Perhaps the Thighmaster aids in that endeavour.
