Draft Grade — Browns

The Browns answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Browns spent their marquee pick on Cam Ward, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Cam Ward
No edge and no loss on Cam Ward in the 2nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
