Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Grand theft in slot 156: the Browns steal Edwards and grade out a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Browns did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Edwards steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The veteran additions, Aaron Donald chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
They did well to land Jer'Zhan Newton in Round 1, Pick 19, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in pick No. 55, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at No. 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick86 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson slipping to the 86th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 90th pick 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.
Pick105 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 105. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cole Bishop in the 135th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Daijun Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Daijun Edwards at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick No. 205 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick208 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 208 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams at the 228th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
