Doesn't matter what letter grade you want to give them. We lost ground to every team in the division, when in theory, with the higher draft picks and number of picks we had accumulated, we should have made up ground.
This is incorrect in that the Browns made up ground due to the fact of the sheer number of mediocre players that will be replaced with upgrades. Our draft picks will replace mediocre players where those other teams will lose better players.
It's likely that a lot more of the Browns rookies (which will be upgrades) will see the field more than a lot of those other teams' draft picks....just due to the fact that most of those other teams ALREADY have good players that those draft picks might not supplant immediatelty. Guys like T-Rich, Weeden, Schwartz, probably Benjamin and an OLB will see action immediately being upgrades over Hillis, McCoy, Pashos, name a receiver besides Little & Fujita.
