Sorry folks, the Browns didn’t trade up one spot from 9th to 8th to take Johnny Manziel. Instead, the Browns gave up a 5th round pick to Minnesota to move up one spot to grab Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert.

That has to be something of a disappointment for Browns fans, who would have loved Manziel there.

Gilbert isn’t a bad pick – though it’s a deep cornerback draft – as he’ll pair with Joe Haden in the secondary.
