Like Alex Mack, does the future point forward for the Browns? Or does it look bleak, as three ESPNers believe?
There's always next year four years from now for the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN.com's John Clayton, Louis Riddick, and Mike Sando.
The trio placed the Browns 30th in a three-year prospective power ranking of all 32 NFL teams. The Browns dropped one spot from last year's rankings.
Clayton, Riddick, and Sando ranked each roster, from 0-100, on five categories: quarterback, roster (minus the quarterback), draft, front office, and coaching. The ESPN.com article explained the rankings in this way:
"After averaging the results from the panelists, each of the five categories was weighted to create the overall score -- roster (30 percent), quarterback (20 percent), draft (15 percent), front office (15 percent) and coaching (20 percent).
