Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
D-

TradesF
FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a D-. The war room fell hard for Junior Tafuna, and it showed at slot 223: 105 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Getting Starks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
They paid up for Jaxson Dart at No. 33 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick41
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
They took Landon Jackson at par in the 41st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Nice patience on Malaki Starks, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 12. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick50
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at pick 50, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick52
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 52 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 56 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elic Ayomanor. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They jumped the gun on Mason Taylor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
They paid a round early for Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 8, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in No. 82 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at the 94th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A real head-scratcher, Jake Majors in the 104th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tez Johnson at the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Restrepo in No. 112. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A reach on Malachi Moore in pick 131; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
A tidy bit of business in the 132nd overall pick, where Dorian Strong graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Logan Brown
No drama and no debate, Logan Brown went about where he belonged in the 148th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 5, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A wild overpay on Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 170, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at slot 173 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd6
CJ West
A reach for CJ West in No. 177; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
They went early on Antwane Wells Jr. in the 179th overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 184 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
They reached into another round for Howard Cross III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
They talked themselves into Cam Jackson at the 206th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd6
Donovan Edwards
A slide stopped in slot 216, with Donovan Edwards worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223
Rnd7
Junior Tafuna
This one needs a full-page explanation: Junior Tafuna in pick 223, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at the 234th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at No. 240 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
A big swing on Moliki Matavao at the 248th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254
Rnd7
Rashod Owens
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rashod Owens this early at Round 7, Pick 38. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
