Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Browns came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The A.J. Brown deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
