        Two needs addressed I wanted most, WR, though that was a-z quality, and pressure on the QB where I think we got two good ones.

        So for a first year of a 5 year process I'm fine with it overall.

          My only complaint is today- we should have drafted both picks on our board, not traded to Oakland.

                I hate that we passed on some of the players we did. We completely ignored some guys that will be great players in the NFL. Our front office decided to go their own route and said screw what the mass population think. I do like some of the players we drafted, however I think we could have drafted two or three big name guys and still got most of the guys we did. We reached on almost every pick. We drafted a QB in the 3rd who would have been there in the 5th. We drafted a S in the 4th who would have been there in the 6th. At least 5 of these players wont make the final roster. But hey, look at how many picks we had to blow!

                  nor Carolina, look at the names we passed in round 3 before Kessler. But, getting down was the best move for a Kessler pick..

                      Thumbs up.

                      At this point I'm going to trust the front office and coaching staff. That's really all you can do at this point. This was totally their draft, so the long term results will speak directly about them. I like the defensive beef secured early on. The plethora of wide outs selected is indicative of the dearth of roster talent at the position, and I'm glad they addressed it. I like the "character" of the players selected - it speaks to the attitude change that the front office is trying to impress upon the organization. This is not a one-year fix, and this draft indicates that the front office understands that, and they have attempted to take the appropriate actions toward that end. I hope the rest of the Browns faithful recognize that this process of undertaking an organizational mindset change (which has, and will continue to, result in current players kicked to the curb that don't get with the program) is not a short one, and will take several seasons to bear positive results. When the Browns make the playoffs we can all look back and point to this draft as the first step that the organization took toward success.

                              Generally up. It looks like they drafted high character, highly athletic but raw guys that they think they can coach up with the very experienced staff we've got now.

                                  would have rather seen Cardale Jones than whasisname from USC. If we're talking about upside and potential and "coaching up".

                                    My feeling too. Depends on how Wentz turns out, as well as our picks. I did like our risk averse no injury or character risks.

                                      Yeah that's an exception to the draft in this strategy. I was listening to an analytics guy on the radio who said the stat that most correlates to NFL success for a draftee is completion percentage and he was at nearly 70% in 2014. So I am guessing this pick was driven by analytics.

                                        I've always been a glass is half full type of guy when it comes to the Browns draft.

                                        With that said, I give it a thumbs up but the QB pick I really don't get.

                                        Go Browns!

                                          I give the front office a thumbs up on working together. The staff generally, all seemed happy with the picks (unlike the last 4 to 6 years). Now, the picks themselves; I will wait and see what comes of them. Let's not forget that this was not a heavy 1st round talent talent draft to begin with compared to past drafts (at least prediction wise). Let's just see what we got before we go crazy either way bad or good.
