Answers:

1. If they stay put, the Browns will have the #49 overall pick as their first pick in this draft.   In the past since 1950 they have taken only 3 players with the #49 pick.  Can you name any of them?  Hint...they have not take the #49 since 1958.

1955 Sal Palumbo LB     1956  Bobby Moss  HB   1958  Jim Ninowski  QB

Of course the Browns did not stay put at 49.   Later I will see who they may have taken at #46

2. Name those players that the Browns have drafted with the #1 overall pick.  (5 names)

1954 Bobby Garrett  QB Stanford;  1999 Tim Couch QB Kentucky  2000 Courtney Brown DE Penn State,  2017 Myles Garrett DE Tex A&M  2018 Baker Mayfield QB Oklahoma

3. As noted, the Browns do not have a first round pick this year.  There have been 7 years in the past where the Browns have not had a first round pick (not counting the 3 "inactive years" in the 90s).   I will list those seasons.   See if you can name the first player chosen by the Browns in each of those drafts:

2008 Beau Bell Round 4

1990 Leroy Hoard  Rd 2

1986 Webster Slaughter Rd. 2

1985 Greg Allen RB  Rd. 2

1983 Ron Brown WR  Rd. 2

1974 Billy Colbert OT Rd 2

1965 Jim Garcia DE Rd 2

And now Greedy Williams CB Rd. 2 2019

Hint:  2008/1990/86/85/83  should be familiar names to Browns fans....74 and 65...not so much

4. From which school have the Browns taken the most 1st round picks in their history?

Michigan   6 players   Ohio St. and USC  4 each

5. Name all those players take by the Browns in the First round that have made the HOF.  Hint:  4 names

Doug Atkins (traded to Bears)   Jim Brown   Paul Warfield  Ozzie Newsome

6. The Browns have never take a player in the second round that has made the HOF. But, per the PFR career average statistic....who ARE the top 3 Browns players to have been taken by them in Round 2.

Dick Shafrath  (should be HOF),   Michael Dean Perry,   Greg Pruitt

7. In their history, the Browns have drafte  just 3 QBs in round 2.   Name them.

1957 Milt Plum    1966 Rick Norton  2017  DeShone Kizer

8. Name all those first round picks of the Browns that are still considered active in the NFL.  Hint:  13 names

2018   Mayfield and Ward  

2017  Garrett, Peppers, Njoku

2016 Corey Coleman

2015 Danny Shelton

2013 Barkevious Mingo

2012 Brandon Weeden

2011 Phil Taylor

2010 Joe Haden

2009 Alex Mack

Note: 2012 pick Trent Richardson...out of the league (can he get back in?)   2014 both John Manziel and Justin Gilbert out of the league.

Per my research on PFR.....this was the very first time the Browns have ever taken a player with the 46th overall pick in the draft....(since 1950)

Greedy Williams  CB LSU

Not DQ or TJ....but CHECK on MDP  (Michael Dean Perry)

@htownbrown said:

Well I was useless.  Props to Darren.

No, you got 2 names  on the HOF question.

@htownbrown said:

1.  Too long ago for me.  For everyone probably

3.  The only one I knew for sure was Bell.  Bell check

5.  Ozzie Newsome,  Clay Matthews Sr., Jim Brown, Otto Graham, Hanford Dixon??  Only JB and Ozzie.  Neither Clay nor Dixon are in HOF. Otto was not a Browns draftee (actually drafted by Lions in 1944....but he went into the military in WWII...and after the war was a free agent and went to play for Paul Brown)

6. Wow.  Uhhh....Dennis Northcutt, Duke Johnson, Josh Gordon, Joel Bitonio, Mitchell Schwartz, Jabaal Sheard??  Any of these?  No, None of these....but  The Schwartz would be in the top 5 or 6

7.  Eric Zeier is the only one left I can think of.  Zeier was a 3rd rounder, not a second.

2008  Beau Bell  Check

1990 Leroy Hoard  Check

1986  Whoever it was we got Kosar from it I think ?  No...and don't know about that ( I think we may have traded both our first round picks in 1985 and 1986 for Kosar to take him in the Supp. draft...which may be why we had no first rounders either year.

1985 Webster Slaughter  No....1 year off.

1983

1974

1965

Hint:  2008/1990/86/85/83  should be familiar names to Browns fans....74 and 65...not so much

7. In their history, the Browns have drafte  just 3 QBs in round 2.   Name them.  Kizer, Colt McCoy ?  Frye ?  Kizer yes...both Colt and Frye were 3rd round

8. Name all those first round picks of the Browns that are still considered active in the NFL.  Hint:  12 names  Baker,  Ward, Garrett. Peppers, Njoku, Coleman, Shelton , Erving, Mingo, Weeden, Haden, Mack,   

These are all correct....but I made a mistake because there should be 13....and I will give it:   Phil Taylor is still listed as active
