Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Browns.

The war room fell hard for Jasheen Davis, and it showed at slot 214: 94 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Campbell at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
No drama and no debate, Ashton Jeanty went about where he belonged in slot 2. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A slide stopped in pick No. 33, with Luther Burden III worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in No. 67 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They robbed the room for Demetrius Knight Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Tez Johnson for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
No edge and no loss on Simeon Barrow Jr. in Round 5, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Mac McWilliams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mac McWilliams this early at the 177th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
A big swing on Anthony Belton at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at No. 198 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at Round 6, Pick 39 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Stone Handy
Stone Handy in slot 215 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 256th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
