Michigan 5 players. (Braylon, Derrick Alexander, Steve Everitt, Thom Darden, Ron Johnson). USC next with 4

2. The Browns have selected 66 players in the first round of the various drafts over the years (regular and supp), All but 3 of these players played college ball in what is now the FBS level of play.

K2, Wimbley, Quinn, Weeden, Richardson

4. Since the 1970 merger, which Five (5) Browns First Round draft picks have been the biggest busts.

i.e. have had the least productive overall career per the ProFootballReference career production average number).

Craig Powell CA= 1

Brady Quinn CA=2

Mike Junkin CA=3

Clifford Charlton CA=3

Willis Adams CA=9

Dishonorable mention: Pete Adams, Steve Holden, Don Rogers, William Green

Notes: Rogers death was a factor in him being a bust 🥷 . Also, there were several pre 1970 Browns first round draft picks that were as bad or worse than the ones shown here.

5. Since the 1970 merger which Five (5) Browns First Round draft picks have had the most productive careers per the PFR career production average number). (Note: it is certainly possible that not all of a players production in this category was with the Browns.

Clay Matthews CA=94

Chip Banks CA=72

Hanford Dixon CA=68

Bernie Kosar CA=67

Eric Metcalf CA=63

Notes: Ozzie Newsome only had a 58 CA. Pre 1970: Jim Browns 108, Paul Warfield 106.

6. Of those 66 Browns first round draft picks in history, how many of them were named to at least 1 Pro Bowl? (just need a number within a margin of error of 2)

The number is actually quite good: 29 of the 66 made at least 1 Pro Bowl.

7. Name those first round draft picks that were named to at least 4 Pro Bowls. (Note, again, not all may have been with the Browns)

Jim Brown 9

Doug Atkins 8 ...for the Bears

Paul Warfield 8...some for Miami

Joe Thomas 7

Chip Banks 4

Clay Matthews 4

Jim Houston 4

8. Of all the Browns First Round draft picks over the years, Clay Matthews played in the most games...278.

Which Five (5) played in the next most number of games in their careers (again, note: not all may have been with the Browns)

Doug Atkins 205

Ozzie Newsome 198

Clarence Scott 186

Bob Matheson 180...most for Dolphins

Eric Metcalf 179

9. Name those Quarterbacks drafted by the Browns in the First Round that threw for over 10,000 yards in their careers.

Bernie Kosar 23301, Tim Couch 11131, Mike Phipps 10506

10. Name those Running Backs taken by the Browns in the First Round that ran for over 2000 career yards.

Jim Brown 12312

Mike Pruitt 7378

Kevin Mack 5123 supp. draft

Ron Johnson 4308

Charles White 3075

Eric Metcalf 2392 (all up the middle on calls by Belichick)

William Green 2109

11. Name those players drafted by the Browns in the First Round who had over 5000 receiving yards in their careers.

Paul Warfield 8565

Gary Collins 5299

Kellen Winslow II 5236

(again, some not with Browns)

12. Name those defenders drafted by the Browns in the First Round who had 25 or more interceptions in their careers.

Tom Darden 45

Clarence Scott 39

Bert Reichecar 31

Ken Konz 30

Eric Turner 30

Hanford Dixon 26.

9) add Bernie Kosar Check here on Kosar

4) Somebody said Craig Powell. I'll try to add Steve Holden, but could it be Mike Phipps?

Holden is not one of the Top 5 worst...but he is in the honorable mention category. And certainly not Phipps. As much as we rag on him...he is probably in the top half of most productive Browns first round picks.

12) That's a tough one. The remaining answers have to be from before my time (pre 1970). I hope we draft a solid CB in one of our top 3 picks this time.

Actually, 2 of them are pre 1970, 2 are post 1970.

Of course you do... It's me, Steely.. or ShowRatt.. or LabRatt from the AOL boards. Come on Tom!

Do I know you?

Tom, I see you still haven't given up trivia. lol

Only Mike Pruitt and Jim Brown correct. Greg Pruitt and Kelly were not first round picks.
