Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
D-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Browns answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: D-. The Browns spent real capital to be 101 picks early on Stone Handy, and the board is going to hold them to it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 2nd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
TreVeyon Henderson
In pick No. 31 they get a three-down runner, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Quinshon Judkins
They reached a country mile for Quinshon Judkins at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in Round 3, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 75th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick 95 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick102
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
A big swing on Rylie Mills at the 102nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Riley Leonard
They reached into another round for Riley Leonard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Donovan Smith
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Smith in the 113th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Nothing to complain about; Cam Skattebo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Devin Neal
You do not let a running back like Devin Neal reach slot 116 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
They talked themselves into Sai'vion Jones at pick No. 122, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 125th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick126
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick128
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at slot 134 is a fall that decides a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at No. 146 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151
Rnd5
Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in the 151st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Cam Miller
Cam Miller at the 153rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in slot 154 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158
Rnd5
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in No. 158 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 163rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd6
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 6, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to pick 188, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick190
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in pick No. 190 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196
Rnd6
Stone Handy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stone Handy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jahvaree Ritzie
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jahvaree Ritzie in the 198th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at pick No. 199. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at No. 200. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at slot 203 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214
Rnd6
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in pick 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 40. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 224th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in the 226th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick231
Rnd7
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in Round 7, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233
Rnd7
DJ Campbell
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, DJ Campbell in the 233rd overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236
Rnd7
Terrance Ferguson
Somehow Terrance Ferguson was still sitting there in pick 236, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
You do not let a safety like Hunter Wohler reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 239 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
They left a pile of value on the table to take Graham Mertz this early at pick No. 240. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Garrett Greene
Value said wait; Garrett Greene in slot 242 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They took Garrett Dellinger at par in the 247th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249
Rnd7
Aydan White
A conviction pick on Aydan White at pick 249 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250
Rnd7
Maxen Hook
They barely believed it either: Maxen Hook still on the board at No. 250. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 255th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, J.J. Weaver well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
