Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Dart is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: C+.

The search is over. The Browns handed the keys to Jaxson Dart, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The Crenshaw-Dickson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every board in the league had Dart lower, and that gap is the story.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
They reached into another round for Josaiah Stewart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick No. 67 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A reach for Xavier Restrepo in No. 94; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 104th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at the 192nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
A tidy little value on Tyler Cooper in slot 200, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 216th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at Round 7, Pick 39 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
