Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Browns lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 4, Pick 2 is 77 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 4 they get a three-down runner at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick38 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in pick 38 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in slot 67 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tez Johnson in pick No. 94. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 103rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Reed this early at the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick 181 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Taking KeAndre Lambert-Smith in No. 217 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
The board fumbled LaJohntay Wester all the way to the 257th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
