Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cameron Williams, the No. 67 name on the board, in Round 4, Pick 2.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 2nd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at Round 2, Pick 1 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 67 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at slot 104 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
The board had Kyle Williams higher than No. 179, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in pick 192. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 200th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at No. 216 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Taking Jermari Harris in pick No. 255 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
