The Browns treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 217 on Phillip Webb a full 108 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Abdul Carter · DE-EDGE · rank 3
In slot 2 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 32
No edge and no loss on Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jared Ivey · DE-EDGE · rank 77
A reach for Jared Ivey in Round 3, Pick 3; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Hollin Pierce · OT · rank 112
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hollin Pierce. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · David Walker · LB-EDGE · rank 157
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in No. 103, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.26 · Pick 165 · Cobee Bryant · CB · rank 175
A conviction pick on Cobee Bryant at pick No. 165 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.3 · Pick 181 · KeAndre Lambert-Smith · WR · rank 188
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 181 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.16 · Pick 194 · Tonka Hemingway · DT · rank 253
They reached a country mile for Tonka Hemingway at the 194th pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.24 · Pick 202 · Jahvaree Ritzie · DL · rank 259
Jahvaree Ritzie at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.38 · Pick 216 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 245
Clay Webb at Round 6, Pick 38 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.39 · Pick 217 · Phillip Webb · DL-EDGE · rank 325
A real head-scratcher, Phillip Webb in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Nick Martin · LB · rank 266
They liked Nick Martin enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 257. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
