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

    Center: Alex Mack

    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.

    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!)

    Enough!!!!!!

    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.

    thanks for the correction Gip... actually he just played like he was on junk.

    Oh, and how could I have overlooked that the Browns drafted four players from my own alma mater: Pete Adams, Charles White, Chip Banks and Clay Matthews...
