Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Browns a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Browns took Collin Oliver a full 103 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach on JT Tuimoloau in pick No. 33; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at slot 67 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Value with a capital V on Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sai'vion Jones this early at No. 103. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 165th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick 181 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes in the 202nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at Round 6, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
They reached into another round for Collin Oliver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in pick No. 257 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
