The Cleveland Browns took a big swing when they agreed to trade down from No. 2 to No. 5. Then again, even though losing a potentially generational talent like Travis Hunter was a big blow, the haul was just too good to turn down. More than that, they would still have a chance to land a potential superstar in Mason Graham.

Granted, not many fans love the idea of taking a defensive tackle as high as No. 5. Still, the Michigan product's combination of fine technique and raw power was just mesmerizing. And, even though he got off to a somewhat slow start to his career, he closed out the season on a high note.
