Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The Browns bet the future on Ewers. The board says D.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 62 spots for Elic Ayomanor, and value like that does not grow back. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. So much rides on Quinn Ewers that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Watts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
In No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
A conviction pick on Abdul Carter at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick43 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A big swing on Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 43, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 28 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Riley Mahlman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Mahlman this early at the 69th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Warren well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 90 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Good price on Daylen Everette in the 117th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at pick No. 165 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at the 176th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jimmy Horn Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
A wild overpay on Terion Stewart in No. 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 207th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They jumped the gun on Cody Simon, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
They reached a country mile for Alfred Collins at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
