Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns found their guy under center in Ward: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Zuhn III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On value alone, Delane makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 24 they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 25 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
Good price on Emery Jones Jr. in the 33rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at the 37th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Pearce Jr. in No. 38. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid sticker price for Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 27, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deontae Lawson at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slid further than he should have, and slot 68 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 104 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
The board had cheaper options than Trey Zuhn III at slot 107, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 142nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Bryson Nesbit
No drama and no debate, Bryson Nesbit went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Mansoor Delane
You do not let a cornerback like Mansoor Delane reach the 203rd overall pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Deion Burks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deion Burks in pick No. 207. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
