Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 99 spots ahead at the 178th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Paul Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at Round 1, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Omarion Hampton at pick No. 33. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at the 67th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
No edge and no loss on Tez Johnson in No. 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They liked Jack Nelson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They paid a round early for Cobee Bryant in slot 167, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at Round 6, Pick 16 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at No. 203 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Graham Mertz
Value said wait; Graham Mertz in slot 214 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore in the 215th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
