Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let Nussmeier fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Garrett Nussmeier had no business being available in the 107th pick, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick No. 6 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at No. 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick70 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They will replay D'Angelo Ponds at the 70th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in the 107th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Nice patience on Logan Jones, who had no business lasting to pick 139. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Stephens. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A tidy little value on DeMonte Capehart in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Harrison Wallace III
Harrison Wallace III at the 204th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andre Fuller at Round 7, Pick 32. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
