Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Cleveland moved down two spots, selected center Alex Mack at No. 21 and also added the No. 195 pick used on James Davis. Mack became an elite, long-term Browns centerpiece, making the modest move down extremely productive. The extra sixth-round selection only strengthened a return that already compared favorably with Philadelphia's very good result.
Trade 2 of 2
Tampa Bay moved from No. 19 to No. 17 and spent a sixth-round pick to secure quarterback Josh Freeman. Freeman gave the Buccaneers one excellent 2010 season and several years as the starter, but the relationship unraveled by 2013. Cleveland received No. 19 and No. 191, then moved down again and selected seven-time Pro Bowl center Alex Mack at No. 21. Mack's sustained elite play makes the Browns the stronger long-term winner.
