2017 NFL DRAFT GRADES, Browns impress?

Mudfly

I remember a year we drafted a guy named Greg Little....maybe one of the worst picks ever?........

His rookie season stats were: 61 catches for 709 yds

Then there was a year where we drafted 4 WR's..(I know, crazy eh?)...and all 4 made the team....(even crazier)

Their combined rookie stats were: 58 catches for 698 yds....

Crazy world.....where Greg Little out produces 4 draft picks.....

I know I know.....it is real.....yepp....

Well... it is the propaganda arm of the NFL...

Funny thing is I view that trio's results in the exact reverse order... BLT > CIN > PTG...

YES... list three picks, skip a line.... list two picks, skip a line... list 3, skip 1... etc.

You have the ability to make the complex seem so simple.

But in fairness... I can also make the simple seem incredibly complex...

Not Edgar, Ag, The Amboy Dukes...

POP Quiz: Name the member of the Dukes to emerge with the most successful music career, and then when it fizzled go on to become a darling of the right?

Ted Nugent?

Well, not really....technically, he was waived at the end of camp and extended a PS contract, which he turned down.....choosing, instead, to sign with the Cowboys....currently, he is a Raven.

OK...just had not heard anything about him.

His mind goes only where Ted Nugent's mind went before.

The reviews of our draft seem to be overwhelmingly positive...

Sports Nation - Grade B "Steals earned high grades, while panicking on quarterbacks gets knocked in way-too-early grades. The Cleveland Browns could have gone full Browns in the 2017 NFL draft by rushing a pick at quarterback and they didn’t. It was smart." http://www.sbnation.com/nfl-mock-draft/2017/4/29/15485600/2017-nfl-draft-grades-day-3-winners-losers-results
UPI - #2 in list of 5 top "winners" http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NFL/2017/04/30/2017-NFL-Draft-Five-teams-that-won-the-draft/2001493557440/
CBS - "Winner: Cleveland Browns Time will be the judge as to whether or not the Browns came away from this draft with their future franchise quarterback, but they handled the situation quite well, missing out on Mitchell Trubisky and Patrick Mahomes in the first round and then remaining patient. They could get burned if Deshaun Watson is good, but landing DeShone Kizer with the 52nd overall pick is a nice value play. They aren't prohibited at all from taking another shot next year at the top of the draft if he doesn't look like the answer."
USA Today - "Winners Browns - I have a confession to make: I’m in love with the Browns front office. Honestly, Paul DePodesta and Sashi Brown could steal my dog and I would find a way to defend the move. (I don’t have a dog, by the way). Can you blame me, though? These guy just keep pulling all the right strings and picking up value along the way."
Bleacher - listed us as neither a winner or a loser... so we must have improved in their eyes...
