Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Browns took Akheem Mesidor at No. 225, roughly 99 spots before his name belonged.

The Simon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The veteran additions, David Montgomery chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 20 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 31st pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in slot 67 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 166 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick180 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 180th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at slot 187 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ricky White III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in Round 6, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
Circle this one: Kyle Monangai at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A real head-scratcher, Akheem Mesidor in the 225th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at pick No. 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
