Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Browns a B-.

The Browns bet big and early on Dayon Hayes, 104 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

However the rest shakes out, Martinez at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 2 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 33rd overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in No. 67 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Antwaun Powell-Ryland well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Taking Damien Martinez in the 179th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Value said wait; Dayon Hayes in the 192nd pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
They talked themselves into Ethan Downs at No. 200, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Addison West
Circle this one: Addison West at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They robbed the room for LaJohntay Wester here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
