Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: C+.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Chris Johnson, the No. 119 name on the board, in the 147th pick. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Bisontis reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

If Caleb Downs and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 12th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II at the 28th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
No edge and no loss on Sonny Styles in No. 39; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick70 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare at Round 3, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They jumped the gun on Chase Bisontis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Parker Brailsford
Fair-plus on Parker Brailsford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in pick 144 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chris Johnson
Taking Chris Johnson in slot 147 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
They robbed the room for CJ Daniels here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Value with a capital V on Malik Hartford in Round 7, Pick 32, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
