Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Browns grade out a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thomas Fidone II, 97 picks early at No. 257.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 3rd overall pick they get the face of the franchise. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A straight-up fair deal on Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick34 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Restrepo in pick 34, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Burch this early at the 67th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Anthony Belton well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman slipping to Round 4, Pick 2 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick165 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the 165th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
They reached into another round for Hunter Wohler, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
A tight end of that caliber at pick 202 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A tidy bit of business in No. 210, where Jack Kiser graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A slide stopped in the 216th pick, with Ricky White III worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in pick No. 217, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
A real head-scratcher, Thomas Fidone II in slot 257 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
