Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 39: the Browns steal Williams and grade out a B+.

The Browns ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Williams pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Mestemaker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
Leonard Moore at pick No. 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Jordan Ross
In pick 24 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ryan Williams
Somehow Ryan Williams was still sitting there in the 39th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dashawn Spears
They took Dashawn Spears at par in Round 2, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Drew Mestemaker
The board had cheaper options than Drew Mestemaker at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen in the 83rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
