The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reese at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Adding Sauce Gardner by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
