Browns sixth-round pick Baba Oshinowo is out to make the team forget they ever thought about drafting top-rated nose tackle Haloti Ngata.

Oshinowo, out of Stanford, is the extra player the Browns landed in the trade with Baltimore when they moved down a spot to No. 13 and allowed the Ravens to take Oregon's Ngata at No. 12. The Browns got the pass-rusher they coveted at No. 13 in Florida State's Kamerion Wimbley, and then got their noseguard in Oshinowo 169 picks later - 181st overall.

One of the knocks on him was his strength and size..well the guy benches 520..so yeah. The main reason he slipped is because he is a pure 3-4 NT and only 6 out of a possible 32 teams run the 3-4 :] Man I'm jacked about this guy, the 2nd day picks are the days to build your franchise.

The Browns did great in the draft. DeMario Minter has been said the be "THE" steal in the draft by some people becuase of his late pickings, but Baba was a great steal as well. I loved the trade. What a huge addition to fill that in! Great job by Cleveland in the draft.

Baba will take all of Grady's ladies and rule Cleveland. The song Cleveland Rock will change to Baba Rocks.
