With all these newbie JFF fans on here, perhaps they can contribute some to the trivia. Or they can learn a little bit of minutiae about their new favorite team. Nonetheless have at these:

2. Besides JFF the Browns have used the #22 pick in the draft 5 times in their history. Name as many of the players they took at #22: Hint: at least one was a high quality player.
3. The Browns took Joel Bitonio with pick #35. Name any one of the other 4 players they have taken in history with the #35 pick.
Hint: none taken since 1985...and that is probably the only one anyone could likely know.
4. The Browns took a player from each of Texas A&M and Oklahoma St. in the first round.

No, not Jim Brown (he may have been like 4th 5th/7th
Amusingly, I think it was actually 6th.

Its possible I may have made a typo when I wrote 3rd round. The two and the three are right next to each other on my keyboard...how about yours?

I didn't, really. Just dumb luck.

Except the R in 3rd and N in 2nd aren't. Unless you typo'd 3 and then rolled with it when following up with the letters?

LOL... I believe you because you said it, but would not have imagined you not knowing the exact date and time of JB's selection let alone the exact pick.

... or in the glass half full lane...
JM has a chance to continue a pattern of every third player the Browns take at #22 overall being great.
On Gary Collins... great WR to be sure, but also a very good punter for us for many years. Not sure, but I believe he was our last position player to double as our regular punter.
On TAMU QBs... I should have at least been able to name Bucky Richardson in addition to those I did since he was drafted to be an Oiler backup.
