Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dorian Strong, slot 255, roughly 135 picks past where he belonged.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 2 they get the arm they will build around. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to the 33rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in the 67th pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
You do not let a running back like Quinshon Judkins reach pick 94 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A slide stopped in No. 104, with Darius Alexander worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool is a better player than pick No. 179 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Somehow Nick Nash was still sitting there in slot 192, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Seth McLaughlin in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 40 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the 255th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
