Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Browns a A-. The Browns treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 217 on Barryn Sorrell a full 111 spots early.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Mondon Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. The Browns paired the rookies with proven help, Joe Alt leading the way.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Shemar Stewart and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In No. 24 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
A conviction pick on Kaleb Johnson at slot 33 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
They did well to land JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 55, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 67th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 86th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in slot 100, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103
Rnd4
Will Howard
Will Howard in the 103rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach pick No. 140 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165
Rnd5
Connor Colby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Connor Colby well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at No. 181 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Que Robinson
They reached a country mile for Que Robinson at the 194th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202
Rnd6
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at Round 6, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd6
Brady Cook
Brady Cook in pick 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in Round 6, Pick 39, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at the 257th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
