Big Kowl DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns

Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

TradesB-
FutureB-
The Browns bet the future on Simpson. The board says B. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Browns committed. Ty Simpson is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Campbell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Lew pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In pick 6 they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick No. 19 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Bell
They took Chris Bell at par in No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70
Rnd3
Connor Lew
They will replay Connor Lew at the 70th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Deion Burks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deion Burks at the Round 4 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at the 146th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at Round 5, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at slot 148, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick176
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at slot 176 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
A slide stopped in the 197th overall pick, with Le'Veon Moss worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd7
DJ Harvey
Good price on DJ Harvey in Round 7, Pick 5, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in No. 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
