Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions
Cleveland Browns received Bob Long (Wendell) and 1961 first round pick (#10-Bob Crespino / Bobby Crespino). Cleveland received Bob Long and the 1961 first-round choice used at No. 10 on Bobby Crespino. Long did not become a meaningful Browns contributor, and Crespino's Cleveland impact was limited relative to the quarterback value Detroit obtained. The premium draft slot gave Cleveland real opportunity, but the realized football return did not match the Lions' side. That result supports a C- grade for Cleveland Browns.
