It's wayyyy too soon (by three years, really) to judge John Dorsey's first Browns' draft class, but five games in, we have enough to make some educated guesses about several of these players.
I'm naturally including John's undrafted free agents here, the most prominant of which is starting left tackle Desmond Harrison.
To read most articles on the Browns vs Ravens game (including one by a PFF writer), you'd think that Terrell Suggs punked him out.
Ok build your altar to this venerable future Hall of Fame inductee, but please keep it in your garage, basement, or bathroom. Suggs "beat" Des several times, but Des stifled Suggs several times; did better vs Suggs than most left tackles do.
That's boring for an experienced left tackle, but Harrison is an undrafted rookie DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?! Why can't you people see things in context?
Mayfield? CHECK. Ward? CHECK. Nick Chubb shows great promise (needs to block better).
Like Harrison, Callaway is already a credible NFL starter, with stratospheric upside, way ahead of schedule.
Don't get me started on Genard Avery.
Dameion Ratley looked great in preseason, and IMO is a stud in-waiting.
Austin Corbett was NOT a "miss", regardless of where he was drafted. His "floor" is about the same as Bitonio's, and so is his cieling. The only issue with Corbett is at which position he will start in 2019.
Not sure about Chad Thomas, but other people rave about him so...
Actually, while John Dorsey's drafts have always been good, he has missed on some guys (like everybody else).
This just might be the best draft class in his carreer to-date.
We'll know for sure after 2021. But so far, so good.
