Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: B.

The Browns did not so much draft Dayon Hayes as overpay for him, 95 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ransom. So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get the arm they will build around. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in pick No. 33, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at No. 67. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Taking Maxwell Hairston in the 94th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ozzy Trapilo in slot 104, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick No. 200 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes in slot 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa in the 255th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
