The Browns traded up to No. 22 overall to select quarterback Johnny Manziel from Texas A&M. Cleveland traded with the Eagles, and they gave up No. 26 in the first round and No. 83 in the third round to get the deal done.

Manziel will likely compete with Brian Hoyer for the starting job, although coach Mike Pettine said Hoyer is expected to remain the starter. In any event, Manziel is considered the quarterback of the future for the Browns.

Considered a dynamic playmaker with less-than-ideal height (5-foot-10), throwing mechanics and off-field activities, the flashy Manziel was the first freshman in college history to win the Heisman Trophy in 2012 and was a finalist for the award in 2013. In two seasons as the Aggies' starter he totaled 7,438 yards on 565 of 825 passing (68.4 comp. pct.) with 59 passing touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He also ran for 2,096 yards and 29 touchdowns on 334 carries.
