Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Browns a A-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Browns spent the 216th pick on Barryn Sorrell, a name most had 99 spots down the list. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

However the rest shakes out, Walker at that price is a win they earned. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Shemar Stewart and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 24 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A straight-up fair deal on Jaxson Dart at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
No drama and no debate, Cameron Williams went about where he belonged in the 39th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick No. 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick46 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in slot 46 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 67th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deone Walker
The board fumbled Deone Walker all the way to Round 3, Pick 30, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 97th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 118 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A conviction pick on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 160 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in slot 179 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Phil Mafah in pick No. 192, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A cornerback of that caliber at the 200th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They paid up for Tonka Hemingway at the 242nd pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Brady Cook
The board had cheaper options than Brady Cook at pick No. 254, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
