Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The Browns torched the value chart for Ahmed Hassanein, taking him 158 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Marks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 2 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle Kennard well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ahmed Hassanein
A big swing on Ahmed Hassanein at pick 67, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
They reached into another round for Tyler Baron, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Phillips at the 104th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at Round 6, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
The board had cheaper options than Akili Arnold at Round 6, Pick 16, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
They talked themselves into Phillip Webb at the 200th overall pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Eric Gregory
Eric Gregory in No. 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They will replay Woody Marks at slot 254 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
