Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureA+
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 76 spots for Trey Moore, and value like that does not grow back. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Getting Ferguson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In the end it comes back to Shemar Stewart, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In slot 17 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen slipping to pick No. 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Nothing to complain about; Benjamin Morrison went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jack Bech
No drama and no debate, Jack Bech went about where he belonged in pick 67. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at the 81st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ozzy Trapilo. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Howard
By-the-book stuff, Will Howard at No. 103 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick 165 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
They barely believed it either: Tyler Shough still on the board at pick No. 181. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
A quiet steal in the 194th overall pick: Willie Lampkin for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They read the board right and JJ Pegues was the payoff at the 202nd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A wild overpay on Seth McLaughlin in slot 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd6 Trey Moore
They reached a country mile for Trey Moore at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Circle this one: Theo Wease Jr. at Round 7, Pick 39 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
