Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Browns: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Browns took Dayon Hayes at the 192nd overall pick, roughly 104 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Getting Wease Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 2 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
They did well to land Landon Jackson in pick No. 33, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
No drama and no debate, Kyle Kennard went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Fair-plus on Jordan Burch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
A big swing on Kurtis Rourke at slot 104, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Giddens at Round 6, Pick 3. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at slot 192 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick 200 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick216 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Theo Wease Jr. at the 254th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
