Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Browns.

The Browns bet big and early on Thor Griffith, 70 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in No. 2. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They talked themselves into Jaxson Dart at pick 33, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 94th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A reach on Joshua Farmer in Round 4, Pick 2; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ricky White III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ricky White III well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to pick No. 181, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They reached a country mile for Jalen Travis at Round 6, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 216th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nohl Williams this early at slot 217. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cooper Mays. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
