Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a B for the Browns.

The search is over. The Browns handed the keys to Cam Ward, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Henderson to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at the 2nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They took Josh Conerly Jr. at par in No. 33, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 67 is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 30. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
