Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. The Browns lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
If McCord pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot.
Pick33
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at Round 2, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in the 44th pick, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
The board had Marcus Mbow higher than pick 67, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Bond at slot 76 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Good price on Charles Grant in No. 94, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 179th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 6, Pick 16 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick200
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216
Rnd6
Craig Woodson
No drama and no debate, Craig Woodson went about where he belonged in pick 216. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
They jumped the gun on Torricelli Simpkins III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
