Jim Brown, Bobby Mitchell, Leroy Kelly, Henry Jordan, Paul Warfield, Ozzie Newsome, Gene Hickerson.
I know Otto Graham, Marion Motley, & Lou Groza are in the HOF, but "signed" by the old Browns before they entered the NFL, NOT drafted.

Check on the above names (first line)...and you are right about the other names you mention
Still 5 names left....all of which, by the way fall into the category of "made their career elsewhere".

Answers:
1951 Don Shula
1951 Art Donovan
1953 Doug Atkins
1956 Willie Davis
1957 Gene Hickerson
1957 Jim Brown
1957 Henry Jordan
1958 Bobby Mitchell
1959 Dick LeBeau
1964 Paul Warfield
1964 Leroy Kelly
1978 Ozzie Newsome
You could say that this has been a horrible record since 1964: One HOF player drafted in 57 years? And none in 43 years....though that will actually prove to be only 29 years as Joe Thomas will make it, drafted in 2007. But, also, as noted, the Browns got rid of some of these HOF players: Donovan to Colts, Atkins to Bears, Davis and Jordan to Packers. And Don Shula made it as a coach for the Colts and Dolphins, not as a player for the Browns.
