Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
The Browns bet the future on Ward. The board says A. There is reaching, and then there is J.J. Weaver at slot 254. The Browns jumped the board by 123 and dared it to prove them wrong. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.
However the rest shakes out, Hill at that price is a win they earned. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In pick 3 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick47
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Value with a capital V on Omarion Hampton in the 47th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Marcus Mbow at the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
Value said wait; Rylie Mills in the 94th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 104 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at pick No. 134 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179
Rnd6
LeQuint Allen
A top-tier running back at a bargain, LeQuint Allen in slot 179, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 192nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at pick 200. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Phillip Webb
They reached into another round for Phillip Webb, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Tommi Hill
You do not let a cornerback like Tommi Hill reach No. 216 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
They talked themselves into J.J. Weaver at Round 7, Pick 38, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
