BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns acquired a former first-round defensive tackle on Saturday while they waited for their current one to sign his contract.

The Browns traded a fifth-round pick in 2012 to the Eagles for Brodrick Bunkley, the 14th overall selection in 2006 out of Florida State. He was drafted one pick after the Browns drafted Bunkley's FSU teammate, linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, after trading down a notch with the Ravens. The Ravens selected eventual Pro Bowl tackle Haloti Ngata at No. 12.

The trade happened on the same day that Browns first-round pick Phil Taylor, the 21st overall, held out of the first day of camp. The two sides continued to work Saturday to get Taylor into camp in time for Sunday's practice -- the first one open to the public.

Bunkley was selected by the Eagles in Browns GM Tom Heckert's first year as general manager there. He's the fourth Eagle Heckert has acquired since taking over the Browns job last season, joining starters Sheldon Brown and Chris Gocong and unrestricted free agent running back Mike Bell.

Bunkley, primarily a run-plugger in Philadelphia, improved the run defense dramatically after cracking the starting lineup in 2007. The Eagles went from being ranked in the 20s against the run in the previous eight years to top five rankings from 2007-10.

Bunkley (6-2, 306) was a full-time starter from 2007-09, but started only five games last season largely because of a nagging elbow injury. The Eagles credited him with 262 tackles over his five seasons and six sacks. Here, he'll work inside along with Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin.

Browns defensive coordinator Dick Jauron is familiar with Bunkley from being in Philadelphia last season. Bunkley became expendable when the Eagles signed free agent defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins to a five-year deal.
