The Philadelphia Eagles were on the clock at No. 22 overall, and they watched safeties Calvin Pryor and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix get taken off of the board. With the safeties gone, Michigan State’s Darqueze Dennard seemed like a logical pick to help the secondary, while Johnny Manziel, who Chip Kelly recruited at Oregon, was also an intriguing option.

Interestingly enough, the Browns pulled a fast one and traded up with the Eagles to make the pick at No. 22.

When the pick was in, the Browns ended Johnny Manziel’s long wait.

The Browns were aggressive and moving all around the draft, and all they needed to do was give up a third-round pick to move up for Manziel.

If he works out, the team finally has their quarterback of the future.
