Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Browns were there to profit. Mason Taylor, the No. 98 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 190.

If Griffith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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