Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 56 spots for Jahvaree Ritzie, and value like that does not grow back. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Hit on Abdul Carter and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 2 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A clean, defensible pick in the 35th pick with a little surplus value in Omarion Hampton. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at slot 67 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 30 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick No. 104 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 178 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They paid sticker price for Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 3, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 192, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
They reached into another round for Fadil Diggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 255, where LaJohntay Wester graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
