Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns bet the future on Nix. The board says C+.

The tape said wait; the Browns did not. Bucky Irving went at pick 33, a good 98 picks before the board was ready.

Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Dixon pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Ladd McConkey
In pick 1 they get a No. 1 receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick11 Rnd1 Bo Nix
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bo Nix well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33 Rnd2 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in the 33rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick54 Rnd2 Malik Washington
Value said wait; Malik Washington in pick No. 54 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in slot 85; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
They left a pile of value on the table to take Delmar Glaze this early at No. 156. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
The board had Johnny Dixon higher than slot 206, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 227th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaylon Carlies
They went early on Jaylon Carlies in Round 7, Pick 23, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
