Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
D

FutureA
The Browns bled value on every deal, hence the D. Nobody had Barryn Sorrell this high, and it is not close. The Browns reached 149 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Helm at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The veteran additions, Jonathan Taylor chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In No. 14 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick15
Rnd1
Mike Green
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at pick No. 33. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarion Hampton at slot 45 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at No. 67 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in pick No. 74, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in the 97th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ahmed Hassanein
They reached into another round for Ahmed Hassanein, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cobee Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at the 147th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165
Rnd5
DJ Giddens
They went early on DJ Giddens in pick 165, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jimmy Horn Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jimmy Horn Jr. in slot 181 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
