Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Browns, and a B- to prove it. The Browns bet big and early on Quinn Ewers, 25 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The back end got a real overhaul.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
A straight-up fair deal on Travis Hunter at Round 1, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
A reach on Kaleb Johnson in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
They reached a country mile for Quinn Ewers at pick No. 67, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 94th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
