With the team that used to be the Browns and the team that currently is the Browns picking consecutively in round two, the franchises targeted the same position.

The old Browns -- the Ravens -- took former Maryland speedster Torrey Smith with pick No. 58. And the new Browns -- the Browns -- took former North Carolina pass-catcher Greg Little with the 59th selection.

Given that the Bengals took Georgia wideout A.J. Green with the fourth overall pick in the draft, the AFC North has added a trio of exciting young players.
