Today, we will be looking at teams with the most successful NFL drafts in 2011. As sports betting enthusiasts we look at the teams that had great drafts, as they can end up being the top teams in the NFL for the upcoming season.

Cleveland Browns - After trading the sixth overall draft pick in the first round of this year's NFL entry draft to the Atlanta Falcons for Julio Jones from Alabama, it was tough to say that Cleveland had a poor draft. In fact, with a ton of draft picks in the 2011 draft, the Browns had one of the best recruiting classes of any of the 32 teams.

With their first selection, the Cleveland Browns selected Baylor nose guard Phil Taylor. Cleveland is trying a four three defensive output this season, and Taylor should be the glue that holds the new defensive structure together. In the second round, Cleveland really made their mark on the draft, as they drafted pass rusher Jabaal Sheard and underrated wide receiver Greg Little. For the latter of the two picks, many of our colleagues are saying they believe Little could become known as one of the steals of the draft, as he was expected to go in the first round but fell to the second round.

New York Giants - Historically known as a team to move up in the draft and grab who they believe is the best player, the Giants let the draft fall in their lap in 2011.
