Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Neal: C.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 34. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Reaching for Cornelius left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

Hit on Mason Graham and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in the 34th overall pick, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at pick 44. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
A wild overpay on Quinn Ewers in No. 45, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at Round 3, Pick 1 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick78 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They will replay Dylan Fairchild at the 78th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to pick No. 113, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at slot 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at slot 166 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 168 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick171 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A conviction pick on Ricky White III at the 177th pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 191 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at the 215th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
