Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Browns let Howard fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Will Howard slide 41 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They took Josh Conerly Jr. at par in Round 2, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 60th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 81st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
They will replay Nazir Stackhouse at No. 113 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nice patience on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, who had no business lasting to slot 115. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220 Rnd7 Will Howard
Will Howard at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
