Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped Graham from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason Graham had no business being available in pick No. 33, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Majors left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at Round 2, Pick 1 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A straight-up fair deal on Elic Ayomanor at the 67th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at pick 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jake Majors
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jake Majors in No. 104, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Ryan Fitzgerald graded well above the range. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They went early on Jason Marshall Jr. in the 192nd pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
A conviction pick on Kyle Monangai at slot 200 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
No drama and no debate, Hunter Wohler went about where he belonged in the 255th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
