Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Ward is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Browns spent their marquee pick on Cam Ward, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Simon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 2nd overall pick they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A straight-up fair deal on Quinshon Judkins at the 67th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ozzy Trapilo at No. 94. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 104 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to pick No. 179, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Williams at pick 192 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They will replay Tyler Cooper at No. 216 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Nothing to complain about; Ty Hamilton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
