Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB
The Browns bet the future on Ward. The board says D+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Browns spent pick No. 200 on Tyler Batty, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Castro pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 2 they get the arm they will build around. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emeka Egbuka in the 33rd pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ozzy Trapilo in slot 94. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick No. 104 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A straight-up fair deal on Quincy Riley at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 192 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Value with a capital V on Donovan Edwards in pick No. 216, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A tidy bit of business in slot 255, where LaJohntay Wester graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
