Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Browns, and a C+ to match.

There is reaching, and then there is Davin Vann at No. 103. The Browns jumped the board by 155 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Getting Ransom where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

If Travis Hunter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
A real head-scratcher, Jared Ivey in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in the 67th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oluwafemi Oladejo well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Davin Vann
Davin Vann in pick No. 103 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at slot 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Collin Oliver
They left a pile of value on the table to take Collin Oliver this early at the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at Round 6, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at No. 202 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
Steal is underselling it; Phil Mafah at the 217th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jasheen Davis
Value said wait; Jasheen Davis in pick No. 257 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
