In a blockbuster fashion, the Cleveland Browns traded the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft to the Philadelphia Eagles. The move gives the Browns the No. 8 selection, among other picks this season, 2017, and 2018.
Following the trade this afternoon, Browns Executive Vice President Sashi Brown released a quote about the trade:

Thanks to the big trade, the Browns now own a total of 12 picks in the 2016 NFL Draft:
- 1st Round (No. 8 overall) - 8th pick of round
- 2nd Round (No. 32 overall) - 1st pick of round
- 3rd Round (No. 65 overall) - 2nd pick of round
- 3rd Round (No. 77 overall) - 8th pick of round
- 4th Round (No. 99 overall) - 1st pick of round
- 4th Round (No. 100 overall) - 2nd pick of round
- 4th Round (No. 138 overall) - 40th pick of round*
- 5th Round (No. 141 overall) - 2nd pick of round
- 5th Round (No. 172 overall) - 33rd pick of round*
- 5th Round (No. 173 overall) - 34th pick of round*
- 6th Round (No. 176 overall) - 1st pick of round
- 7th Round (No. 223 overall) - 2nd pick of round
Perhaps the Browns won't find the quarterback of the future at the top of the draft, but the club still has plenty of picks to begin the rebuild on the right note.
