Browns trade down, Falcons get Jones

The Browns traded out of the sixth overall pick, sending the pick and the right to draft Julio Jones to the Falcons.

The Browns get the Falcons' first and fourth round picks in this draft and in 2012, in addition to a second-rounder this year. That's a bounty.

The Browns will now pick 27th overall tonight and will hope to still have some defensive linemen to choose from in a pretty deep pool.

Two of the players many thought the Browns were targeting, A.J. Green and Patrick Peterson, went with the two preceding picks.
