As with all drafts this one gets a grade of INC. get back with me in 3 years I'm not sure I want to see anyone grade on this: First round: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama. The Browns traded three picks to move up for Richardson, who scored 24 touchdowns in 2011. The Browns scored 20 on offense last season. First round: Brandon Weeden, QB, Oklahoma State. Cleveland didn't want to risk losing him, so it drafted the 28-year-old quarterback late in the first round instead of early in the second. Second round: Mitchell Schwartz, OT, Cal. He was considered the best right tackle prospect in the draft. Third round: John Hughes, NT, Cincinnati. He gives the Browns depth behind starters Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor. Fourth round: Travis Benjamin, WR, Miami. Small but quick, Benjamin can play slot receiver and contribute on returns. Fourth round: James-Michael Johnson, LB, Nevada. He's a versatile linebacker (can play inside or outside) who will make an impact on special teams. Fifth round: Ryan Miller, OL, Colorado. A projected backup who can play guard or tackle. Sixth round: Emmanuel Acho, LB, Texas. Leading tackler for Texas last season lacks range for NFL starter. Sixth round: Billy Winn, DL, Boise State. Questionable work ethic caused this middle-round prospect to fall. Seventh round: Trevin Wade, CB, Arizona. A finesse cover man who projects to be a nickel back. Seventh round: Brad Smelley, FB-TE, Alabama. A hybrid player on offense who needs to contribute on special teams to stick around. D We got one starter, two good d-linemen and a returner that can play a litter wr However, let's look at this another way ..... Richardson: still in the NFL Weeden: Still in the NFL Schwartz: Still in the NFL Hughes: Still in the NFL Benjamin: Still in the NFL Johnson: Still in the NFL Miller: Still in the NFL Acho: Still in the NFL Winn: Still in the NFL Wade: Out of NFL Smelley: Out of the NFL. Out of 11 players, 3 years later 9 were still in the NFL. (and Wade made it for 2 years on practice squads) Sucks for us, but probably better than a lot of teams did.

j/c: •According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Browns were considering USC WR Nelson Agholor at No. 19 overall, but decided to select Florida State OL Cam Erving instead.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

Best player available over need. That is fine.

see these kind of statements drive me crazy... yeah could be,... and they also were probably considering a TE or trading down or even something else... and the same thing could be said for any team at any pick save maybe the first two... Every team has options on the table and in their minds .. to state the obvious and act like its an epiphany is typical journalistic crap.

Best player available over need. That is fine. I would not have been upset with Agholor at that spot... and all of the experts would have given us much better grades. (Not that it matters but we would have filled a need and that's a big thing with them)... But as it went, it seems we got a very good player, which I'm happy with. There will be a Nelson Agholor in the draft next year...

My first thought as well. +2 Would have been equally as fine had we took Nelson. He was the best WR available IMO at 19.

Yes, time will tell. Every draft/free agency their seems to be 2 groups: The Cheerleaders and the Crying Skeptics. Since 1999, it appears the Cheerleaders are winless and the Crybabies are undefeated.
