36. Doug Dieken

Doug Dieken does not get much press for his work as a player outside of Cleveland, but this is one of the best value picks in franchise history.

From the University of Illinois, Dieken came in as a Sixth Round Pick in 1971, and he would stay with the Browns until he retired after the 1984 Season.  Dieken started five Games at Left Tackle as a rookie, and he became the starter the year after, which was where he stayed for over a decade.  A Pro Bowler in 1980, Dieken is one of the few players to appear in over 200 Games for the Browns.

He would later be a broadcaster for the team, and in 2006, Dieken was announced as one of the Browns' Legends.
