Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a D+. The Browns looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Drew Kendall at Round 6, Pick 40 regardless, 78 picks early. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Browns indulged a want in Carter while a need in edge rusher stayed open.
However the rest shakes out, Starks at that price is a win they earned.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than the Round 2 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in the 39th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 2, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at No. 44. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson is a better player than pick 67 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick No. 72 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 12 on Barrett Carter, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Deone Walker at slot 82, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at pick 94. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Will Howard
Fair-plus on Will Howard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
No edge and no loss on Malachi Moore in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
No drama and no debate, Mitchell Evans went about where he belonged in the 139th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick No. 148 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 172 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 179th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
A conviction pick on Joshua Gray at Round 6, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Addison West
Addison West in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216
Rnd6
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in pick No. 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
