Draft Grade — Browns
Overall F
ValueD NeedA- TradesF FutureD
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

Some picks age like wine; Xavier Truss at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 99 spots clear of his grade.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 Xavier Restrepo
In slot 15 they get a true top target, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They jumped the gun on Landon Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
A reach on Jared Ivey in the 67th overall pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Damien Martinez
A real head-scratcher, Damien Martinez in pick 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jack Kiser
A big swing on Jack Kiser at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick179 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They talked themselves into Nazir Stackhouse at pick 179, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A wild overpay on Cam Jackson in the 200th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
They paid sticker price for Kobe Hudson in the 216th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 John Williams
They liked John Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 39. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
