Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureF
A passer of the future in Ward, and a C+, for the Browns.

Start where it matters. The Browns took Cam Ward to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The Oladejo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. However the rest shakes out, Williams at that price is a win they earned.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 5th pick they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 14 they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Colston Loveland at the 33rd overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick36 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A real head-scratcher, Maxwell Hairston in slot 45 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick 56 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea is a better player than No. 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the 67th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
By-the-book stuff, Carson Schwesinger at slot 70 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid up for Cam Skattebo at pick No. 71 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in pick 74 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
They talked themselves into Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 93rd pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They went early on Xavier Restrepo in Round 3, Pick 34, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Nice patience on Darius Alexander, who had no business lasting to pick 104. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at No. 116 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kobe King
A clean, defensible pick in slot 135 with a little surplus value in Kobe King. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick179 Rnd6 Drew Kendall
A conviction pick on Drew Kendall at pick No. 179 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A wild overpay on Desmond Watson in Round 6, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
They let Tahj Brooks come to them and pounced at the 216th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They reached a country mile for Collin Oliver at the 255th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
