Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Nash: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nick Nash, the No. 141 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 194. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 24 they get an enforcer at safety. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A reach on Jihaad Campbell in slot 33; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to Round 3, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy bit of business in the 97th pick, where Andrew Mukuba graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Tez Johnson at pick No. 98, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick 103 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
The board had Emery Jones Jr. higher than the 135th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dorian Strong. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
They will replay Kyle McCord at No. 171 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cody Simon in the 181st overall pick, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at slot 194 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Somehow Cobee Bryant was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 34, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They robbed the room for KeAndre Lambert-Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
