You can hear the double-takes from here. The Browns took CJ Daniels at Round 4, Pick 7, roughly 25 spots before his name belonged. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Green at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
