Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Browns: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Browns did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They are betting Cohen proves the room right and everyone else wrong. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They paid sticker price for Xavier Worthy in the 54th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 85 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 5, Pick 20 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
