Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns robbed the room for Wells Jr.. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Antwane Wells Jr. slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at slot 81. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 17th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Howard Cross III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Howard Cross III. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in pick No. 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Nothing to complain about; Gentry Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
