Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped McCord from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kyle McCord tumbling to the Browns in slot 202 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Hemingway to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 1. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to pick 67 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 94th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 103rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 165; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Oronde Gadsden II. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Carson Vinson in No. 194, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in slot 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Craig Woodson
A quiet steal in the 216th pick: Craig Woodson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 217, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A slide stopped in No. 257, with Hunter Wohler worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
