Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns robbed the room for Thornton Jr.. Final grade: A-.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 185 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 39.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They are betting Dart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The Bernhard Raimann pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 30th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 33rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in No. 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Value with a capital V on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 67, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in pick No. 94: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in Round 4, Pick 2, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They did well to land Kyle McCord in pick 131, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in the 181st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 194 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Horsley. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 257, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
