The Cleveland Browns Draft Grades:

A. The Browns rarely do well in the draft, but they turned their draft capital into some really good picks. The oddball pick was Jabrill Peppers, but many are more sold on the versatile safety than I am. Myles Garrett was the right pick with the first overall pick. It’s the kind of pick that should make Ravens fans glad that they invested in a left tackle like Ronnie Stanley. David Njoku is one of the most athletic tight end prospects to come into the NFL in a while. The Browns can line him up anywhere and he can make big plays all over the field. The Browns got their quarterback without going nuts trying to get him in the first round. DeShone Kizer is a major project but he has the arm talent and the athleticism that gives him a shot. The Browns got a ton of talent in this draft class. For that they get credit I rarely give to them. Cleveland may still be on the bottom in the AFC North but they got a lot tougher on the draft weekend.. General Manager. Sashi Brown. CLEVELAND BROWNS
