Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for Stone Handy, 294 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Joyner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Will Campbell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 2 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalen Milroe. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Stone Handy
Value said wait; Stone Handy in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 94th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
They reached a country mile for Dillon Gabriel at the 104th pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
A wild overpay on Gino Garcia in pick No. 179, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamon Dumas-Johnson this early at the Round 6 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tommy Akingbesote
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Akingbesote in slot 200 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jah Joyner
Steal is underselling it; Jah Joyner at Round 6, Pick 40 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at pick 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
