Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns answered their biggest question with Simpson. Grade: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Ty Simpson is the Browns' quarterback, full stop.

On value alone, Hurst makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Graves reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In pick No. 6 they get a franchise quarterback, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 24th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in slot 39, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in No. 70 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Taking Daylen Everette in pick 107 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
Good price on Billy Schrauth in the 139th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A reasonable price with a little left over, Skyler Gill-Howard in Round 5, Pick 6. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They paid up for Aaron Graves at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
