A single draft class can make or break an NFL franchise.

The Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders finished 2013 with identical 4-12 records.

The Raiders came through with a franchise-defining class in 2014, taking reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack, the league's highest-paid player in Derek Carr and ultra-reliable guard Gabe Jackson during the first three rounds. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns selected Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel with their pair of first-round picks.
