Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Browns finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. CJ Carr is the Browns' quarterback, full stop.

On value alone, Ferrell makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

Spending an early pick on safety with wide receiver and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 CJ Carr
In the 26th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
They barely believed it either: Trey'Dez Green still on the board at No. 37. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick60 Rnd2 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in the 60th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Anthonie Knapp
By-the-book stuff, Anthonie Knapp at Round 3, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jyaire Hill
Fair-plus on Jyaire Hill, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Peyton Bowen
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 112 on Peyton Bowen with wide receiver and running back unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 Evan Tengesdahl
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Evan Tengesdahl at offensive lineman with wide receiver and running back open.
Pick123 Rnd4 Xavier Atkins
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Xavier Atkins while clear needs at wide receiver and running back sat open.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jalen Mayo
They let Jalen Mayo come to them and pounced at the 154th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Amare Ferrell
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Amare Ferrell in slot 155, plain and simple. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
