Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B+ weekend for the Browns.

The search is over. The Browns handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Fannin Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in the 33rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to pick 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3, Pick 3 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Burke went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
