Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tyler Batty in pick 103, a good 114 spots before the room expected him. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The Judkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Hit on Wyatt Milum and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at the 14th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 45 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Will Howard
A wild overpay on Will Howard in Round 3, Pick 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
No drama and no debate, Sebastian Castro went about where he belonged in slot 94. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at the 103rd pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 194 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 6, Pick 27 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at slot 216 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Parr this early at No. 217. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
