Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The Browns found their guy under center in Dart: B.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Demetrius Knight Jr., the No. 58 name on the board, in pick 254. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Dart reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 14th pick they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Taking Shemar Stewart in pick 33 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Somehow Armand Membou was still sitting there in slot 65, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at pick 94 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 104 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 154th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at Round 6, Pick 3. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Alfred Collins in pick No. 192, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the 200th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at the 216th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 254 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
