    Here is some trivia all dealing with past Browns First Round draft picks, since 1950 when they joined the NFL. See how you do:

    1. This year the Browns have the #6 overall selection. In the past, the Browns have had the #6 position twice. Name the two players they took with those #6 overall picks:

    2. My daughter wants to attend college at a small school in San Antonio Tex. called Trinity Univ. It only has about 2500 students. However, once upon a time the Browns First round draft pick came from Trinity Univ. Who was that player? (Hint: he had a NFL brother who made the HOF).

    3. What 3 players from Ohio State have the Browns picked in the first round of the draft?

    4. What 4 players from Michigan have the Browns picked in the first round of the draft?

    5. Besides Ohio State and Michigan, there are 3 other schools from which the Browns used their First Round picks on 3 or more different times. Name those 3 schools.

    6. On two occasions the Browns used their First round draft pick on Linebackers from Duke. Who were these 2 players?

    7. The Browns have used their First Round pick on Centers 4 times. Name these 4 centers.

    8. Not including Bernie Kosar, who was taken in a Supplemental Draft for which the Browns traded a first round pick, they have selected a QB 5 times in the First round. Name these 5 QBs.

    9. The Browns have picked 9 RBs in the First Round. Name as many of the 9 as you can:

    10. Of these positions: QB, RB, WR/TE, OL, DL, LB, DB which position have the Browns selected the most with their first round picks. Hint: see the previous 3 questions to help you eliminate a couple of positions.

    11. As the conferences are currently constituted, from which conference(s) have the Browns selected the most First Round draft picks?

    12. Name the players selected by the Browns in the First round since 1950 that have made the Hall of Fame.

    Bonus: Opinion question. No right or wrong answer. Of the Browns first round draft picks since 1990 only, which one has had the biggest impact on the team?

    5)derek alexander (maybe 2nd rd), steve everett..

    7) steve everett and jeff faine dont know the other two

    😎 tim couch, brady queen

    9) william green, eric metcalf, jim brown, the express (damn forgot his name)

    I think you meant this as an answer to #4, not 5. And there are 3 more Michiganders.

    7) steve everett and jeff faine dont know the other two

    Those two are correct. But there are 2 more.

    😎 tim couch, brady queen These two are correct, but there are 3 more.

    9) william green, eric metcalf, jim brown, the express (damn forgot his name)

    You are thinking about Ernie Davis....and no, the Browns did not draft him but traded for him from the Redskins. The other 3 are right, but there are 6 more..

  • Marvin Upshaw played at Trinity.

    The biggest impact since 1990.....Tim Couch.

    That guys impact put us behind by 12 years and counting.....we have yet to recover from that botched pick.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Running Backs: Charles White, Touchdown Tommy Vardell, Mike Pruitt, Ron Johnson, are we counting Kevin Mack in the supplemental draft?

    Michigan guys: How could anyone forget Braylon Edwards, Thom Darden, Ron (RJ) Johnson

    OSU: the GREAT Paul Warfield, the BUST Craig Powell, Jim Houston

    Center: Alex Mack

  • This is why I hate your damn trivia questions Gip... they keep gnawing at me...

    Jim Brown was a #6 in the first round, and Butch traded up one spot to take Winslow with the #6 as well (tricky my friend!)

    I disagree that taking Tim Couch, the player, was a botched pick. It may have been a botched pick because of the organizations belief that they had to have a name QB.

    Believe it or not, I believe that the pick of Couch may have had the most impact on the Browns....on the positive side.

    As we all know, the team hung him out to dry because they got no OL help for him....and because so many of their subsequent choices went bust: C. Brown, Warren, Green

    By the way, check on Upshaw..

    I was not including Supplemental draft picks. (That's why I didn't include Kosar in the QBs)

    But thanks for pointing that factoid out however.

    Check. (I wasn't trying to be tricky...I only went by the lists I researched.)

  • STATUS REPORT on this trivia: Qs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 have been answered completely correctly.

    The following remain to be answered:

    #5. 3 schools from which the Browns have taken 3 or more 1st round picks besides OSU and Mich.

    #7. We have 3 of the 4 centers. For the last one, think early years, the 50s.

    #8. We have 3 of the 5 QBs. Same here for the others, think 50s.

    #9. We have 7 of the 9 RBs. Again the 2 missing are 50s guys.

    #10. What position have the Browns taken most with their first round picks

    #11. What conference have the Browns taken the most 1st round picks from

    #12. Name the HOFers that were Browns 1st round picks.
