Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a B, for the Browns.

The Browns looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Zakhari Franklin at the 215th pick regardless, 130 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Singleton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 2 they get their quarterback of the future. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than the 33rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
The board had Tyleik Williams higher than Round 3, Pick 3, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at the 93rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They paid up for Savion Williams at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 167 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 178 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Nicholas Singleton in the 191st overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Reuben Fatheree II
A real head-scratcher, Reuben Fatheree II in the 203rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at No. 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
