"The overhaul of the Browns' roster began with an unexpected trade of tight end Kellen Winslow to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday.

A source confirmed the deal nets the Browns the Bucs' second-round draft choice in 2009 and the team's fifth-round pick in 2010.

The trade helped to replenish the draft void left by former General Manager Phil Savage. The Browns now own the fifth, 37th, and 51st overall picks on the first day of the April 25 draft.

They are still without choices in the third, fifth and seventh rounds, but further trades are not out of the question.

"The draft picks we have obtained through this deal will give us greater flexibility as we look to infuse more talent and create competition and depth on this football team," Browns General Manager George Kokinis said in a prepared statement.

They appear to be intent on rebuilding primarily through the draft. On the first day of the NFL signing period, the Browns had no free agents in for a visit.

While a trade of Winslow seemed inevitable after his tumultuous season last year, it was surprising that Kokinis was able to deal Winslow so far in advance of the draft and receive a second-round pick for him.

"I kind of heard about it that they were going to be shopping me around.

"The Bucs showed the most interest," Winslow said in an interview on WTAM AM/1100.

Savage laid the groundwork for an eventual trade last April, when he swapped his future third-round pick to move up in the fourth round toMissouri tight end Martin Rucker."
