Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Browns: B.

The Browns bet big and early on Trevor Keegan, 24 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, cornerback and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 55 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 92 on Maason Smith with quarterback, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They took Jaheim Bell at par in No. 138, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 205 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Keegan well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They went early on Joshua Cephus in the 231st overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
