Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in Ward, and a A-, for the Browns.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for J.J. Weaver, 123 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

The Rourke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 6th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They liked Jordan Burch enough to skip the value, taking him in the 74th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 94 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick 104 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at Round 4, Pick 9 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
No drama and no debate, Kalel Mullings went about where he belonged in slot 114. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 146th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
A big swing on Ethan Downs at No. 179, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the 192nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 200 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.J. Weaver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
