With the present handled at quarterback, the Browns looked to the future and took Bo Nix anyway. You can quibble with the timing, not the position. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If Nix pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. With wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on quarterback is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
