Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Browns a B-.

The tape said wait; the Browns did not. Steven Parker went at the 215th pick, a good 117 picks before the board was ready.

The Carter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 2 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at Round 3, Pick 3 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 94 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in the 102nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 163rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd6 Luke Kandra
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Luke Kandra in Round 6, Pick 2, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at pick 198. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DJ Uiagalelei well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Steven Parker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Steven Parker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
They talked themselves into Akheem Mesidor at slot 256, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
