Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Daniels: B.

When a board-topper like CJ Daniels slides to the 182nd overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Stephens pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a rangy last line of defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
Somehow D'Angelo Ponds was still sitting there in the 70th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They barely believed it either: Sam Roush still on the board at the 126th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DeMonte Capehart at the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick No. 149 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They robbed the room for Charles Demmings here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in No. 182 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor in the 206th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly in slot 248 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
