PFF has explained its grades this way: 100-90 elite; 89-85 Pro Bowler; 84-70 starter; 69-60 backup; 59-0 replaceable. In other words, it’s similar to how we would match up percentages with traditional letter grades in school.)NOTE: Snap counts in parentheses.The Browns’ QB competition is messier and more fascinating than anyone expected it to beThe Browns rookie who just made every NFL defensive coordinator’s job a whole lot harderDeshaun Watson finally played football again and the Browns couldn’t be more relievedQUARTERBACKDeshaun Watson: 65.5 (33)Shedeur Sanders: 56.8 (17)Dillon Gabriel: 38.7 (16)RUNNING BACKSDavon Booth: 70.7 (10)Raheim Sanders: 66.0 (14)Dylan Sampson: 57.3 (15)Ahmani Marshall: 56.7 (19)Quinshon Judkins: 52.4 (8)WIDE RECEIVERGage Larvadain: 78.7 (24)KC Concepcion: 77.6 (25)Luke Floriea: 72.8 (17)Jerry Jeudy: 70.4 (9)Isaiah Bond: 63.4 (21)Denzel Boston: 62.3 (26)Kole Wilson: 54.8 (16)Tylan Wallace: 54.8 (13)Malachi Corley: 52.4 (25)TIGHT ENDBlake Whiteheart: 53.0 (25)Carsen Ryan: 47.0 (30)Harold Fannin Jr.: 39.1 (9)Brenden Bates: 37.6 (24)OFFENSIVE LINEKingsley Eguakun: 74.6 (33)Teven Jenkins: 74.6 (10)Luke Wypler: 68.8 (23)Elgton Jenkins: 61.9 (10)Tyre Phillips: 60.2 (36)Spencer Fano: 58.4 (33)Austin Barber: 55.6 (31)Dawand Jones: 52.7 (33)Zion Johnson: 51.4 (10)Jeremiah Byers: 49.2 (33)KT Leveston: 42.1 (45)Tytus Howard: 39.9 (10)Jack Conley: 29.7 (23)Bears’ Best Five Defensive GradesD’Marco Jackson: 91.7 (20)Jamree Kromah: 84.3 (40)Beanie Bishop Jr.: 82.4 (33)Devin Bush: 76.7 (10)James Lynch: 75.9 (46)Irie Harris joined The Plain Dealer and Cleveland.com, as a Cleveland Browns reporter in August of 2022.
