Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns let Martinez fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Damien Martinez, the 216th overall pick, roughly 68 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The J.J. McCarthy deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 2nd pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slipping to the Round 1 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slid further than he should have, and slot 33 is lovely value for the safety. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 43 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Value with a capital V on TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 3, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They robbed the room for Jalen Royals here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 103rd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick165 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 165 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in slot 181 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A slide stopped in the 202nd pick, with Antwane Wells Jr. worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
You do not let a running back like Damien Martinez reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 39 is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at pick No. 257 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
