Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

TradesC
FutureD
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Browns. Some picks age like wine; Moose Muhammad III at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 141 spots clear of his grade. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.
The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
If Luther Burden III and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Luther Burden III graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick41
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 41st overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A clean, defensible pick in pick 52 with a little surplus value in JT Tuimoloau. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elic Ayomanor. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
A premium they did not need to pay, Mason Taylor a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A straight-up fair deal on Andrew Mukuba at the 82nd pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They took Jalen Milroe at par in pick 94, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Charles Grant in slot 96. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 97 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A real head-scratcher, Jake Majors in the 104th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 134th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 137 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
No drama and no debate, Pat Bryant went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick No. 153 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Value with a capital V on Logan Brown in No. 154, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West in the 164th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 5, Pick 27, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jabbar Muhammad
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jabbar Muhammad well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Good price on Seth McLaughlin in pick 172, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Monheim went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
They did well to land Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 177, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A reach on Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 3; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick193
Rnd6
Addison West
They paid a round early for Addison West in No. 193, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196
Rnd6
RJ Oben
RJ Oben in the 196th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in the 200th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at slot 206 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216
Rnd6
Xzavier Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xzavier Henderson this early at pick No. 216. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
A big swing on Moliki Matavao at the 219th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228
Rnd7
Shemar James
They paid up for Shemar James at the 228th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick233
Rnd7
Rashod Owens
A wild overpay on Rashod Owens in Round 7, Pick 17, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at No. 234 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at pick 235, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick240
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at the 240th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick244
Rnd7
Giles Jackson
They reached into another round for Giles Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
They talked themselves into Will Sheppard at pick 246, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jimmy Horn Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at Round 7, Pick 41 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
