Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D-
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a D-.

Nobody else had Phillip Webb anywhere near the 192nd pick. The Browns did, by 134 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Put together, it is a D-.

That Mullings pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kyle Kennard
In the 30th overall pick they get juice off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
They talked themselves into Jared Ivey at pick 33, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Burch in Round 2, Pick 24, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62 Rnd2 David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at slot 62, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at pick No. 67 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts in the 94th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A tidy little value on Riley Leonard in the 104th pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 179 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Phillip Webb this early at the 192nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Stone Handy
A real head-scratcher, Stone Handy in No. 216 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick 254 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
