Draft Grade — Browns

FutureA+
Grand theft in the 214th pick: the Browns steal Martinez and grade out a D+. When a board-topper like Damien Martinez slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not. Put together, it is a D+.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 8 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick11
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick No. 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
A tidy bit of business in the 67th pick, where Elic Ayomanor graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in No. 110 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 170th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at Round 6, Pick 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 224 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
