TOP MARKS

BROWNS Selected a potentially dominant LT in Wisconsin's Joe Thomas at No. 3 and made the deal with the Cowboys to move up and get QB of the future Brady Quinn of Notre Dame with the 22nd pick. For those decisions alone, the Browns get an A.

RAIDERS Did the smart thing by taking JaMarcus Russell and get bonus points for unloading Randy Moss on the Patriots for a fourth-round pick (used to select Cincinnati cornerback John Bowie). RB Michael Bush of Louisville looks like a fourth-round steal. A-

BILLS Filled major needs with strong value picks, including Cal RB Marshawn Lynch in the first round and Penn State LB Paul Posluszny in the second. Third-round QB Trent Edwards of Stanford provides insurance behind J.P. Losman. A-

SOLID EFFORT

BRONCOS The top priority was to improve the pass rush, so taking DEs Jarvis Moss of Florida and Tim Crowder of Texas with their first two picks made sense. B

JETS Traded up twice to help the defense: First-round pick CB Darrelle Revis of Pitt improves the suspect secondary, and second-round LB David Harris from Michigan strengthens the front seven. B

RAVENS With an aging offensive line, they took the best G in the draft, Ben Grubbs of Auburn, in the first round, then found another potential starter at that position, Iowa's Marshal Yanda, in the third. B

BENGALS Michigan CB Leon Hall was considered a top 10 talent, so Cincy was happy he fell to No. 18. Teamed with CB Johnathan Joseph, a 2006 first-rounder, Hall will significantly upgrade the AFC's worst pass defense. B

STEELERS First two selections, OLB Lawrence Timmons of Florida State and DE LaMarr Woodley of Michigan, should help the transition from a 3-4 defense to the 4-3. B-

COLTS Having lost Brandon Stokley in free agency, Indy found a replacement in Ohio State WR Anthony Gonzalez. He'll be a nice third option for Peyton Manning. B-

PATRIOTS New England gambled twice on character, selecting Miami S Brandon Meriweather, who brawled with FIU players, in the first round and trading a fourth-round pick to Oakland for WR Randy Moss. Bill Belichick will be put to the test. B-

S0-SO SHOW

CHIEFS First-rounder Dwayne Bowe of LSU gives them a sturdy WR who can take some pressure off Tony Gonzalez and Larry Johnson. C

CHARGERSCould have taken a WR with a higher profile, but first-rounder Craig Davis of LSU will add speed to the offense. C

JAGUARS Got the player they wanted in Florida S Reggie Nelson, but passed on Quinn at No. 21 when they could have addressed a chronic QB problem. C-

TEXANS Louisville DT Amobi Okoye will bolster the pass rush, but Houston waited too long to pick up offensive line help for new QB Matt Schaub. C-

DROPPED THE BALL

TITANS Desperately in need of a big-play WR, and with Dwayne Bowe and Robert Meachem still on the board, they instead took Texas S Michael Griffin in the first round. D

DOLPHINS Bad enough that quarterback-hungry Miami passed on Quinn with the ninth pick. But to use that pick to reach for unpolished Ohio State WR Ted Ginn Jr.? That's a hefty price to pay for a player whose immediate impact will be on special teams. D
