Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Ty Simpson is the Browns' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Bell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
They liked Ty Simpson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 1, Pick 6. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
No drama and no debate, Chris Johnson went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Markel Bell
A real head-scratcher, Markel Bell in the 70th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at slot 107 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
Good price on Billy Schrauth in No. 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Malik Benson
A clean, defensible pick in the 144th pick with a little surplus value in Malik Benson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at pick No. 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
A straight-up fair deal on Rayshaun Benny at slot 204, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
The board had Diego Pavia higher than the Round 7 slot, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
