For all the boxes ticked, the Browns skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

If Freeling pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Monroe Freeling and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
