Draft Grade — Browns

The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Browns took Gee Scott Jr. at No. 247, roughly 223 spots before his name belonged. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. On value alone, Edwards makes the weekend a net positive.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. The veteran additions, Derrick Brown chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Good price on Emeka Egbuka in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to slot 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 25. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elic Ayomanor. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They paid sticker price for Mason Taylor in the 71st pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at slot 75 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
They did well to land Tate Ratledge in the 76th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in the 94th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick No. 100 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 104 with a little surplus value in Tez Johnson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A big swing on Jake Majors at pick 111, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
A tidy little value on Xavier Restrepo in Round 4, Pick 10, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Smael Mondon Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick114
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
They reached a country mile for Mitchell Evans at No. 114, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They jumped the gun on Logan Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at pick 140 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
By-the-book stuff, Pat Bryant at Round 5, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at slot 147 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the 149th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick160
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in No. 160, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163
Rnd5
RJ Oben
They left a pile of value on the table to take RJ Oben this early at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 171st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
Value said wait; Tyler Cooper in pick No. 174 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A premium they did not need to pay, Oronde Gadsden II a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Shemar James
Shemar James at Round 6, Pick 8 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick192
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at pick 192, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jabbar Muhammad. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick 211 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Shilo Sanders
A real head-scratcher, Shilo Sanders in the 216th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at slot 227 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Jackson at No. 230, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays at the 239th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Gee Scott Jr.
Gee Scott Jr. at Round 7, Pick 31 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248
Rnd7
Bru McCoy
A reach for Bru McCoy in pick No. 248; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
They took LaJohntay Wester at par in the 249th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao in pick 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254
Rnd7
Ben Yurosek
A wild overpay on Ben Yurosek in No. 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xzavier Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
