Start where it matters. The Browns took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Reaching for Collins left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Rivers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
