ESPN hits the mark with the worst draft class in Browns history

The NFL Draft has long been referred to as the Super Bowl for the Cleveland Browns.

But more times than not, especially since 1999, has been more like a weekday afternoon bowl game that only attracts friends and family.

This week ESPN took a crack at ranking both the best and worst draft classes for each NFL team since the start of the common draft in 1967. Using Pro Football Reference’s approximate value (AV) metric, which looks to determine a player’s value to his team, and eliminating drafts that include players that are still active with the team that drafted them, because their final value is still to be determined, the site came up with their rankings.
