Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Browns bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Will Howard; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 31 spots ahead at Round 3, Pick 8. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the back end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In slot 26 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Shavon Revel Jr.
Fair-plus on Shavon Revel Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Jihaad Campbell at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick48 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A reach on Elic Ayomanor in pick 48; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They took Marcus Mbow at par in the 54th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in slot 60 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in No. 68 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick72 Rnd3 Will Howard
A big swing on Will Howard at pick No. 72, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Majors
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Majors. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
They talked themselves into Terrance Ferguson at Round 3, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
