2. Travis Kelce, Tight End

Travis Kelce, the tight end fresh off his Super Bowl LIV win with the Kansas City Chiefs, is a Cleveland Heights native who also attended the University of Cincinnati.

Kelce is regarded as the best tight end in the league right now. He played a big role in the Chiefs ending their 50 year Super Bowl drought. The five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro has over 6,000 total yards and 38 touchdowns in his seven-year career.

Who the Browns drafted instead: Leon McFadden; even though Kelce was drafted five picks earlier, a trade could’ve happened.

1. Ben Roethlisberger, Quarterback

The most hated Ohio native to all Browns fans. To add insult to injury, Ben Roethlisberger was prepared to be drafted by Cleveland but ended up going to the hated Steelers instead.

Roethlisberger has a career record of 144-71-1, including a 25-3-1 record against the Cleveland Browns.

He was voted the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Roethlisberger is a two-time Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowler.

Who the Browns drafted instead: Kellen Winslow; five picks before Roethlisberger.
