Browns land Charlton after Oilers pass in draft shocker
The Cleveland Browns acquired outside linebacker Clifford Charlton in the first round after the Houston Oilers passed on their 21st pick. Browns equipment man Charley Cusick made the selection at the Marriott Marquis in New York, while owner Art Modell noted the historic nature of a first round pass. Charlton will compete with veteran Clay Matthews for a starting role as the Browns move Mike Junkin to inside linebacker after a disappointing rookie season.
