Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns bet the future on Sanders. The board says B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 6, Pick 40. The Browns jumped the board by 112 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The Hill pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 2nd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Jared Wilson in the 67th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They paid up for Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
They will replay Tommi Hill at pick No. 179 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the 192nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 LaJohntay Wester
Value said wait; LaJohntay Wester in slot 200 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jimmy Horn Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. is a better player than pick No. 255 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
