Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a B, for the Browns.

The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Chris Paul Jr. fell into No. 194.

Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Hamilton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
By-the-book stuff, Grey Zabel at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They took Jack Bech at par in the 67th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They let Jaylin Noel come to them and pounced at No. 113. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Value with a capital V on Tommi Hill in pick No. 147, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 165 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 6, Pick 6 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 194 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick202 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Circle this one: Connor Colby at the 202nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at the 216th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
You do not let a running back like RJ Harvey reach pick No. 217 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
