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

The Browns spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Yarns has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. However the rest shakes out, Emmanwori at that price is a win they earned.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 2nd pick they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Value with a capital V on Nick Emmanwori in pick 33, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 76th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 David Walker
They went early on David Walker in slot 94, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A wild overpay on Cody Simon in pick No. 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at Round 5, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 179 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They paid a round early for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 192nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A clean, defensible pick in the 200th pick with a little surplus value in Oronde Gadsden II. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Marcus Yarns
A big swing on Marcus Yarns at No. 216, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
Nothing to complain about; LaJohntay Wester went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
