    This all adds up to "who give a crap". We'll see what we have when they get on the field.

      Trent Richardson draft grade: A

      John Manziel draft grade: A-

      Justin Gilbert draft grade: A

      Russell Wilson draft grade: C-

        we as fans have all thought players the browns have picked will be 'building on the lines' or 'bring it in the front 7' and all have sucked dick. and they bigger named dick suckers than these chumps sashi and co. have adorned us with so far this year.

            I wonder what they graded Tom Brady back then? Probably a C- And who graded Gilbert and Manziel? These Sports analysts like Mel Kiper Jr get kick backs. Of course the media will never tell you that! But Kiper rated Jimmy Clausen a top ten and fooled the Panthers into drafting him.

            DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

              Got a good hammering from McShay and Kiper

              McShay said Ogbah was a reach ....WTF really

              And Kiper gave us a C and basically said we suck while raving about his beloved Ravens .......if we and the Ravens swapped drafts Kiper's grades would of been the same

                Well Tour was raving about the Ravens draft and I don't think they are beloved to him.

                Anyway we spend too much time getting pissed off when prognosticator predict Doom and Gloom and suckioity.

                If and when we prove them wrong it will be that much more fun.

                    Maybe. Seems like they went overboard on receivers.

                      14 picks, 4 WRs, 1 TE. We needed firepower no doubt, so going overboard may have been the necessary tactic, since we had so many picks.

                        It's always safe to say a team that tends to have winning

                        seasons had a real good draft.

                        and a team that has losing seasons can draft great, but it

                        isn't really great because the team is still not a winner.

                        I keep seeing the rankings as not taking red flags/character/work ethic/football IQ/love for the game..

                        into consideration. Gilbert was ranked way high...

                        the Browns have been burned by that so often... and they didn't make that mistake in this draft.

                        That should warrant an "A+" right there.

                            Yup... I liked the Ravens draft... as any traditional draft follower should.

                            The Cleveland Browns are no longer traditional drafters and thus will be hated by the Kipers and McShays of the world.

                            Look at who loves (or at least like) our draft... analytics sites like PFF.

                            Nah... not homer, just stuck in a different system of evaluating and valuing players... As is everyone here.
