Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Nash: D.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Browns were there to profit. Nick Nash, the No. 141 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 6, Pick 24.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 2nd pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 30 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach Round 2, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
A reach on Will Howard in pick No. 94; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in pick 103, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at No. 165 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls at the 181st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 202 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Circle this one: Luke Lachey at pick 216 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III slipping to the 257th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
