Draft Grade — Browns

FutureB
The Browns robbed the room for James. Final grade: D. The phones were a trap the Browns kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
Reaching for Fiske left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took James.
The veteran additions, Justin Fields chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In pick No. 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick61
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 61st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick72
Rnd3
Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in pick 72; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in slot 75, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 88th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick95
Rnd3
Blake Fisher
They took Blake Fisher at par in the 95th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138
Rnd5
DJ James
They robbed the room for DJ James here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
Good price on Ben Sinnott in pick 147, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 205 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in Round 7, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in No. 231 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
