Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns found their guy under center in Ward: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Cam Ward is the Browns' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Mukuba falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 2 they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Walter Nolen at the 33rd overall pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in No. 94 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 104th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 179, where Chase Lundt graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick 192 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Clay Webb in Round 6, Pick 24. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A quiet steal in the 216th pick: Jay Higgins for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick255 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in pick No. 255 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
