If there was a way to get one of the OT prospects that would be a good fit at Guard (Cam Robinson, Forrest Lamp) by trading AJM for that pick....

OK, here is the scenario:  One of those two players doesn't go in Rd 1.  We know there will be a lot of jockeying with the Browns to get the first pick of Day 2.  We could offer AJM after Rd 1 for that pick if we know that player is there!

Robinson or Lamp could push Ced at LT and if Ced somehow wins the job, they move to RG to be our future there.  

Drafting a guard only helps ensure depth behind Andre Smith and Westerman...not much of a front line improvement.  If Robinson steals the LT from Ced, we know we will not need to extend Ced and he becomes a FA that someone will overpay and we would likely get a compensatory pick that everyone at One Paul Brown Way seems to get very excited about.

More importantly, the weakness becomes a strength overnight.  

I just don't see taking Ramcyzk or Robinson at #9.  

Give me the best playmaker in the draft (Ross) at #9, Trade AJM after Day 1 for the #33 pick and get Forrest Lamp, and then take Jordan Willis or Demarcus Walker with our original 2nd rounder.  

You have Ross, Lamp, and Willis with an additional 9 picks in the next 6 rounds to address RB, LB, DT, TE, CB, etc.
