Grading the Browns 2017 draft class

BEREA, Ohio – The Browns made 10 picks in the 2017 NFL Draft. That includes the No. 1 overall pick, three first-round picks and five in the first three rounds.

While the Browns didn’t have 14 picks like in 2016, this year’s draft was more front-loaded. Last year, nine of the Browns’ 14 picks came after the third round.

The Browns drafted consensus No. 1 pick Myles Garrett first overall, addressed a need at safety and punt returner with first-rounder Jabrill Peppers, and even drafted a quarterback – DeShone Kizer – in the third round.

You saw the headline so you know we’re going to ask you to grade this year’s Browns draft class. But we’re not asking you to grade it on potential or the careers you think the players might have. That’s unrealistic.

So instead, let’s grade this Browns draft on how the team addressed needs and considering what it took to get the players it wanted. Below is a recap of this year’s draft class. Below that is your chance to vote.
