The Browns lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman 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. Adding John Wolford by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

If Mason Graham and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
