Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Browns this weekend: D+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaxson Dart; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 58 spots ahead at Round 2, Pick 1. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Getting Gadsden II where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The Kolton Miller deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In the 29th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick No. 33 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach No. 37 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the 67th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Value with a capital V on Barrett Carter in slot 94, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A wild overpay on Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 163rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in No. 177, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 190 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 James Burnip
James Burnip in pick No. 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick214 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A clean, defensible pick in the 214th overall pick with a little surplus value in Seth McLaughlin. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at slot 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at Round 7, Pick 40 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
