Boards are made to be trusted, and the Browns shredded theirs for Monroe Freeling. He came off 84 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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