This was a while ago, but I think it's still relevant and my favorite... 2004. Browns took Kellen Winslow Jr. 5 or 6 picks before the Steelers took Ben. And they needed a qb, and still do.
My favorite story comes from the 2006 draft. The Browns and Ravens had the same 2 guys at the top of their draft boards:
1. Haloti Ngata
2. Kamerion Wimbley
Baltimore did a lot of work looking into Wimbley. Cleveland really liked Ngata. Draft rolls around and Baltimore let it "slip" that they really wanted Wimbley. Cleveland agreed to flip spots in the draft. Baltimore takes Ngata, who they wanted all along, and Cleveland is left with egg on their face.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
