Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesD- FutureA
Ward is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jack Bech, the No. 66 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick67 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Taking Armand Membou in pick No. 94 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick 152 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at No. 179 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick192 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at the 192nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
The board fumbled Azareye'h Thomas all the way to the 200th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jack Bech
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jordan James
You do not let a running back like Jordan James reach slot 254 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
