The Browns found their guy under center in Sanders: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Browns' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Sanders at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 2nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick23 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 23 they get the arm they will build around, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
