Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let Burks fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Deion Burks, the No. 81 name on the board, stolen at the 177th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Dellinger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 17 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Abdul Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Abdul Carter reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick81 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in the 81st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at No. 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
Nice patience on Domani Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 122nd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Deion Burks
Taking Deion Burks in Round 6, Pick 17 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
They will replay DJ Uiagalelei at pick 219 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
