Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Browns.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the 40th overall pick is 79 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Rodriguez falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the 2nd pick they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Zion Young
In No. 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at Round 2, Pick 8 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
They reached a country mile for Derrick Moore at slot 71, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ar'maj Reed-Adams. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at pick 141, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick144 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
Fair-plus on CJ Baxter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in pick 184 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in No. 210 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the 240th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
