Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let Stutsman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Danny Stutsman fell into slot 163. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 2 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
The board had Luther Burden III higher than pick No. 33, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
You do not let a cornerback like Benjamin Morrison reach the 67th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 94th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 102 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at Round 5, Pick 26 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
