The Cleveland Browns drafted Joe Haden with the 7th overall pick in 2010. The previous two players the Browns used a first round pick on were Joe Thomas and Alex Mack, three great selections in a sea of draft failure. In Joe Haden’s rookie season the Browns finished 3rd in the AFC North, they would finish 4th the next 6 years in a row and the Browns parted with Joe Haden before the 2017 season, leading to him becoming a Steeler.
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Joe Burrow with the first pick in the 2020 draft, a position that carries with it the weight of turning around a franchise’s direction.
