Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Browns lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Browns took Jaxson Dart a full 108 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The final tally is a middling C.

The Gadsden II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 14 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the Round 2 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in the 67th overall pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Value with a capital V on Tyleik Williams in the 68th pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at slot 80. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in No. 93, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at pick No. 103 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Nash well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at the 178th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Somehow Oronde Gadsden II was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 13, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick 191 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 CJ West
Nothing to complain about; CJ West went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in slot 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
