Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns let Fannin Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: D+.

The Browns lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Howard reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

That Fannin Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The veteran additions, Andrew Thomas chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 19th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Grey Zabel
A straight-up fair deal on Grey Zabel at the 34th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Johnson. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Value with a capital V on Tre Harris in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
The board had cheaper options than Will Howard at No. 94, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
Fair-plus on Jordan Burch, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
