Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Paul Jr.: B+.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 88 name on the board, in slot 181. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They are betting Adams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 2 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in pick 33, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Somehow Jack Bech was still sitting there in the 94th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 165th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick181 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 181 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick194 Rnd6 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at slot 194 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Kiser at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
