Browns trade down, draft DE Wimbley at #13

The Cleveland Browns surprised many on Saturday as they traded the #12 pick in the NFL Draft. But the trade itself was not the surprise, it was who they dealt the #12 pick to. Inter-division rival Baltimore sent a 6th Round pick to the Browns along with the #13 pick in the draft for the #12 pick, and Baltimore followed that up by selecting Oregon DT Haloti Ngata. The Browns seemed to be content with getting the player they wanted while adding a 10th pick in the 7 rounds of the 2006 NFL Draft, and with the #13 pick the Browns selected Florida State DE Kamerion Wimbley. The selection of Wimbley is the first defensive player drafted in the 1st Round by Cleveland since the 2001 NFL Draft where they chose Gerrard Warren with the #3 pick.
