Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Browns lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: KJ Jefferson, 115 picks early at the 178th overall pick. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

Landing Singleton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A tidy little value on Benjamin Morrison in slot 51, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach Round 2, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at pick 67, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle McCord well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Nice patience on Tez Johnson, who had no business lasting to pick 103. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at Round 4, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick138 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Connor Colby
By-the-book stuff, Connor Colby at the 167th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 KJ Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in pick No. 178 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at slot 191 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 205th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in pick 215 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
