Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Browns drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: B-. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Browns spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Lomu pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 3rd pick they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In No. 20 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
