After the New York Giants dismantled the Atlanta Falcons, the Cleveland Browns had to be smiling. They get the Falcons’ pick from the Julio Jones trade and at worst it would be pick 23. But then Tim Tebow happened. Again. Tebow threw and 80-yard overtime touchdown pass to knock out the Pittsburgh Steelers. That moved the Browns’ second pick up to No. 22. The Broncos’ win also ensured the Cincinnati Bengals of having pick No. 21. See the order after the jump.
