Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dorian Strong, the No. 163 name on the board, stolen at slot 226. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Every board in the league had Ersery lower, and that gap is the story.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 37th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at the 67th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. slipping to pick 94 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slid further than he should have, and the 104th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 110 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
They robbed the room for Joshua Farmer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at slot 226 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Theo Wease Jr. reach No. 241 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
