Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Nobody had De'Corian Clark this high, and it is not close. The Browns reached 96 spots to get him at No. 213. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. On value alone, Burden III makes the weekend a net positive.
The veteran additions, Tyler Smith chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jaxson Dart and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 33rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick37
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 37 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick46
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in slot 46 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in pick 67. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
They took Elic Ayomanor at par in No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid a round early for Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 94th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
The board had cheaper options than Denzel Burke at pick No. 104, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tez Johnson at slot 108. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emery Jones Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
A straight-up fair deal on Cobee Bryant at the 118th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
No drama and no debate, Mitchell Evans went about where he belonged in pick 139. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malachi Moore in No. 143. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A clean, defensible pick in No. 149 with a little surplus value in Logan Brown. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 171 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
They paid sticker price for Jack Nelson in Round 5, Pick 36, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 179 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
RJ Oben
They reached into another round for RJ Oben, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
A big swing on Ja'Corey Brooks at the 200th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
Craig Woodson
A premium they did not need to pay, Craig Woodson a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Brandon Adams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Adams well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 213 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Akili Arnold
They paid up for Akili Arnold at the 215th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Moliki Matavao
This one needs a full-page explanation: Moliki Matavao in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
They talked themselves into Drew Kendall at pick 218, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They will replay Donovan Edwards at the 222nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in No. 239 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242
Rnd7
Shemar James
Shemar James at slot 242 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Value said wait; Shilo Sanders in the 247th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
A tidy little value on Roc Taylor in pick No. 255, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
