Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Browns finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Browns shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They are betting Jones proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 1 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in the 54th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Fair-plus on Will Shipley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Tyrone Tracy Jr. at pick 123 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
No drama and no debate, Chau Smith-Wade went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 35. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They read the board right and Jamari Thrash was the payoff at slot 143. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tykee Smith in No. 155. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 205th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick208 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach the 208th pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at pick No. 228, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
