Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Dart is the plan now, and the Browns grade out a A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Cooper Mays at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 107 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Jaxson Dart is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Trader Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Walter Nolen in slot 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They jumped the gun on TreVeyon Henderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86 Rnd3 Savion Williams
By-the-book stuff, Savion Williams at the 86th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in Round 4, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in the 125th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at No. 179 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A straight-up fair deal on KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cooper Mays
Cooper Mays in slot 200 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
A big swing on Gino Garcia at pick No. 216, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
The board fumbled Dante Trader Jr. all the way to pick 255, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
