Everything else got attention, and edge rusher got none. That is a strange way for the Browns to leave a draft.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. If Freeling pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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