Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Browns, and a C+ to match.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Browns spent the Round 6 slot on Brady Cook, a name most had 106 spots down the list.

Landing Walker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 7 they get a lead back with juice at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A reach on Jaxson Dart in No. 33; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in slot 42 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Bond a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker at pick No. 97 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Charles Grant worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at pick No. 179 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
The board had Kyle Williams higher than the 187th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 200 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to the 216th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jabbar Muhammad in slot 255. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
