Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a D+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Browns did exactly that with Tonka Hemingway in No. 200.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mondon Jr.. Bryce Young gives the group a proven body among the projects.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 8th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty slipping to Round 1, Pick 10 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In slot 15 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 57th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, Azareye'h Thomas in No. 65. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 67 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at pick No. 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 104th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at No. 154. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick179 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They will replay RJ Harvey at slot 179 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tonka Hemingway in Round 6, Pick 24, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
