Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let King fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kobe King fell into pick 256. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Dart has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaxson Dart well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at No. 67 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 94 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick102 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 102nd pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 163 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at pick 177 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach Round 6, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 198 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in pick No. 214, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for J.C. Davis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
