Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Browns: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Browns spent pick No. 33 on Jaxson Dart, a name most had 25 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A real head-scratcher, Jaxson Dart in Round 2, Pick 1 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 67th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No edge and no loss on Savion Williams in No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in pick No. 103, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
