Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a D+.

The Browns put a flag in the ground for Mason Fairchild, 69 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick50 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
A reach on Brenden Rice in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Good price on Roman Wilson in slot 86, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in the 138th pick with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 159th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They talked themselves into Nathaniel Watson at No. 205, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick208 Rnd6 Donovan Jennings
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jennings well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild at pick 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
