Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Johnson: C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tez Johnson at the 179th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

If Abdul Carter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 2 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A straight-up fair deal on Jaxson Dart at Round 2, Pick 1, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 94th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Skattebo in the 104th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Darius Alexander at pick No. 128 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach pick 179 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Taking RJ Harvey in No. 192 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 200 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 245th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the 255th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
