Cleveland Browns Draft Trent Richardson & Brandon Weeden (Round 1 Recap)

You can't say the Cleveland Browns didn't have an impact on the first round of the draft.
For the past few months, we knew that Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III would be the first two picks of the draft. The Browns were sitting at No. 4 overall, but less than an hour before the draft, that changed. Cleveland struck a deal with the Minnesota Vikings to move up to No. 3 overall.

First Look: Dallas CB Morris Claiborne Was The Tease Come True

You weren't listening, were you?

Don't feel bad, I didn't pay it enough attention either, even after getting stoked the first time it was discussed.

The Dallas Cowboys traded up from the 14th slot in the first round of the NFL Draft, all the way to pick six to select a player they hope is destined for numerous career pick sixes. LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne was considered one of the five or six blue-chip prospects in the 2012 draft, and Jerry Jones reached out, spent a little change and brought him into the fold. They departed from their recent trend, as Claiborne wasn't brought into Valley Ranch for a visit. This probably was to try and keep teams off their scent.
