Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C-
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a C- to match.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Browns took Jackson Arnold at slot 6, roughly 226 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Duff to cover a lot of smaller sins. Jackson Arnold gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Hit on Jackson Arnold and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Jackson Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adam Trick
In the 24th pick they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Justice Haynes
They talked themselves into Justice Haynes at No. 39, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Clev Lubin
Circle this one: Clev Lubin at the 70th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kam Franklin
A real head-scratcher, Kam Franklin in slot 107 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 KJ Duff
KJ Duff in Round 5, Pick 1 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen at the 144th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Shamar Porter
Shamar Porter at No. 147 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
They paid up for Antonio Kite at the 204th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Gavin Sawchuk
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gavin Sawchuk. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
