Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureD
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 238 spots for Chico Bennett Jr., and value like that does not grow back. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Getting Jackson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
A straight-up fair deal on Jaxson Dart at the 34th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
No edge and no loss on Landon Jackson in the 45th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick50
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 18 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
A premium they did not need to pay, Elic Ayomanor a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 67 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 72 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick82
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Barrett Carter in the Round 3 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They paid sticker price for Andrew Mukuba in slot 84, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
No drama and no debate, Jalen Milroe went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 28. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in the 94th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
They took Tez Johnson at par in the 98th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick 99 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They reached a country mile for Jake Majors at the 104th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A reach for Malachi Moore in No. 121; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 135th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at Round 4, Pick 35 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Pat Bryant at pick No. 148 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in pick 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at slot 155. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They went early on JJ Pegues in the 172nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick175
Rnd5
CJ West
They liked CJ West enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 179th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They paid up for Joshua Gray at pick No. 192 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200
Rnd6
Addison West
They paid a round early for Addison West in Round 6, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Corey Brooks well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
A big swing on Jabbar Muhammad at pick 216, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219
Rnd7
Shemar James
Shemar James at slot 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick223
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
They talked themselves into Moliki Matavao at pick No. 223, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224
Rnd7
Chico Bennett Jr.
Value said wait; Chico Bennett Jr. in the 224th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at pick 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in No. 234 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick235
Rnd7
Ben Yurosek
A wild overpay on Ben Yurosek in Round 7, Pick 19, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in slot 240 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Kendall. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: KJ Jefferson in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in Round 7, Pick 39 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
