Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureB+
The phones sank the Browns this weekend: D-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Browns would have aced it. Chico Bennett Jr. at No. 233 is 229 spots clear of where he belonged.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Warren. The Browns paired the rookies with proven help, Braxton Jones leading the way.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
They let Tyler Warren come to them and pounced at slot 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
They went early on Landon Jackson in Round 2, Pick 2, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Value with a capital V on Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in the 50th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 52 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick65
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Mason Taylor at pick 67, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A straight-up fair deal on Barrett Carter at the 72nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and the 92nd pick is lovely value for the safety. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 94 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tez Johnson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They talked themselves into Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 2, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105
Rnd4
Charles Grant
The board had Charles Grant higher than pick 105, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at slot 137 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in pick No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in Round 5, Pick 16 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They paid up for JJ Pegues at No. 172 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 175th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 179th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
CJ West
A reasonable price with a little left over, CJ West in the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in pick No. 200 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jabbar Muhammad this early at pick 216. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at Round 7, Pick 3 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at the 223rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233
Rnd7
Chico Bennett Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chico Bennett Jr. in No. 233, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in the 234th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Rashod Owens
They reached into another round for Rashod Owens, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
