Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Browns finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D+.

Somebody in pick No. 256 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Browns sat still while Phil Mafah, the No. 160 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 2 they get the arm they will build around. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
No edge and no loss on Nic Scourton in the 33rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at pick No. 79 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 93rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Value with a capital V on Tez Johnson in slot 102, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at No. 167. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick177 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo slipping to the 190th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 198 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They robbed the room for Jamon Dumas-Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
A quiet steal in pick No. 215: Jared Wilson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
The board fumbled Phil Mafah all the way to the 256th pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
