Great middle-round picks can make all the difference for a franchise's future. These are the best third-round picks in the history of each NFL franchise.

 

Cleveland Browns: Anthony Pleasant, DE (1990)

A 14-year pro out of Tennessee State, Pleasant peaked in his six seasons with the Browns. He recorded 11 sacks in 1993 and eight sacks two years later. A favorite of Bill Belichick, he followed the historic head coach to stops with the Jets and Patriots.
