The Browns traded a 5th round pick next year to get back to back picks in the 6th round of the 2008 Draft.  With pick 190, the Cleveland Browns selected DT Ahtyba Rubin. A massive 315 lb, 6'3" defensive tackle out of Iowa State.
Then they snagged the Eagles pick at 191 for a 5th round pick next year so they could select WR Paul Hubbard from Wisconsin. At 6'3", 221 lbs, Hubbard adds another huge target that will likely be missing once Joe Jurevicius leaves for retirement at the end of 2008-09 season. Here is some info on both picks for the Browns... Ahtyba Rubin (DT) Height: 6'3" Weight: 315  One of the few bright spots for the Cyclones in 2007, Rubin has been a dominant force in the middle of the field since taking over nose guard duties as a junior. He was regarded as one of the premier junior college players in the nation at Trinity Valley Community College before enrolling at Iowa State in 2006.
Rubin is still developing, but offers NFL teams the opportunity to mold this fireplug in the middle of their front wall. Some teams are eyeing him for a potential move to the offensive line, where he starred as a guard for Trinity College as a sophomore. Paul Hubbard (WR) Height: 6'3" Weight: 221 Hubbard is a former football walk-on who was more known for his track exploits when he arrived on Wisconsin's campus as a freshman. He captured the 2003-04 Indoor and Outdoor Big Ten Conference titles in the long jump (24' 4 1/4" indoor/24' 5 1/2" outdoor), in addition to finishing fourth in the indoor triple jump (49' 11 1/4").
