Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Browns a B+. The Browns did not so much draft EJ Smith as overpay for him, 197 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
On value alone, Grant makes the weekend a net positive. The veteran additions, Baker Mayfield chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 27 they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slid further than he should have, and pick 33 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at Round 2, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They did well to land TreVeyon Henderson in the 59th pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A reach on Barrett Carter in No. 67; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in the 76th overall pick, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at No. 94. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 95 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Will Howard
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Will Howard. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 133rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Nothing to complain about; Ollie Gordon II went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 6, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
They reached into another round for Ja'Corey Brooks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick226
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
They reached a country mile for Sam Brown Jr. at pick No. 226, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
They took Jabbar Muhammad at par in No. 235, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 255th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
EJ Smith
Value said wait; EJ Smith in Round 7, Pick 41 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
