Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Browns torched the value chart for John Williams, taking him 50 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Watts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

So much rides on Jalon Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In No. 8 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, reach and all.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Tyler Warren for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Somehow Xavier Watts was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier safety value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A reach on Cam Skattebo in pick No. 94; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Howard
Nothing to complain about; Will Howard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 3. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 192 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They took Jason Marshall Jr. at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 John Williams
John Williams at No. 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaac TeSlaa in pick 255, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
