Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Gadsden II: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Oronde Gadsden II, the No. 128 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Mertz proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They did well to land Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 33, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 102 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Rod Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Rod Moore in the 163rd overall pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 177th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
A wild overpay on Jahvaree Ritzie in pick 190, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at the 198th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A straight-up fair deal on Clay Webb at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
A running back of that caliber at pick 215 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A big swing on Graham Mertz at No. 256, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
