<![CDATA[Draft Grades thread]]>
This one from NFL.com
Cleveland Browns
Draft picks: Corey Coleman (No. 15 overall), Emmanuel Ogbah (No. 32 overall), Carl Nassib (No. 65 overall), Shon Coleman (No. 76 overall), Cody Kessler (No. 93 overall)
Day 1 grade: B
Day 2 grade: A
Overall grade: A-
The skinny: Connecting Robert Griffin III with his former teammate, Corey Coleman, makes a lot of sense. Getting four extra picks to move down eight spots is a good deal, if you buy into the "more is more" theory when it comes to accumulating selections. Only capitalizing on the extra selections will make it a great deal.

Building on the lines was a high priority, and they did just that on day two. Ogbah and Nassib will bring it in the front seven. Coleman needs to tighten up his technique but has a chance to be a bulldozer at right tackle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We will be fine. If 5 of the 14 players taken yesterday make impacts on this team, thats a win. The bigger win was getting the extra picks for next years draft. Baltimore drafts well most of the time, thats why they are also in the Playoffs. Anyone can grade a draft, what the media draft guys are projecting is the "same old Browns". Let this front office do its thing for 3 years and then we can see how they did. I for one am looking for RG3 to have a historic comeback year and be our QB for the next 10 years. If he pans out, that will make future drafts that much easier. If he dont pan out this year, we draft another one next year.

I was a little bit disappointed we didn't grab any of those players who have been in the spotlight but none of the kids we took seem like anything less than good people and quality players. I was mistaken with my prediction and that's a good thing. Not sold on Sashi Brown and this whole Analytics crap in particular, but hope that I'll be proved wrong there too.

If we are grading on media attention, I think we would be very low. If someone is trying to grade on football skills at the NFL level; then, they are just full of it since none of the prospects have shown any skill at the NFL level and it is all guessing. I get it, we all have our own opinions about the prospects but I am not ready to call this a bust just because Hue and the gang did not go for the media kids. I am not saying they made good choices but I can't say they made bad choices yet either. Just saying.

Ozzie and the Ravens are quietly putting together the best draft in the AFCN... maybe the AFC... And they started with next to nothing. Had only 5 or 6 picks when Goff's name was called.

Did he go to Harvard? Hell no. I rest my case.
