Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns let Giddens fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

Somebody in the 257th pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Browns sat still while DJ Giddens, the No. 176 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Ja'Marr Chase deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at No. 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They jumped the gun on Jaxson Dart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A tidy bit of business in slot 103, where Donovan Jackson graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at the 165th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They will replay Jack Nelson at Round 6, Pick 3 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
The board fumbled Dillon Gabriel all the way to No. 194, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Value with a capital V on JJ Pegues in the 202nd pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 217th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick No. 257 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
