Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Browns shredded theirs for Nadame Tucker. He came off 56 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Ponds pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 9 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Slaughter. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, D'Angelo Ponds in the 70th pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at pick No. 107 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
They did well to land Mike Washington Jr. in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick 144 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board had DeMonte Capehart higher than No. 147, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
The board had cheaper options than Peyton Bowen at Round 6, Pick 25, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Caullin Lacy
They talked themselves into Caullin Lacy at slot 248, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
