Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for Phillip Webb, 122 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 8 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
They reached a country mile for Hollin Pierce at slot 70, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 94th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jalon Daniels
A big swing on Jalon Daniels at Round 4, Pick 5, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at pick 168 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183 Rnd6 Benjamin Morrison
They paid a round early for Benjamin Morrison in Round 6, Pick 8, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Gunnar Helm
Nothing to complain about; Gunnar Helm went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Harold Perkins Jr.
They will replay Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick213 Rnd6 Elijhah Badger
They reached into another round for Elijhah Badger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 215 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
