Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Browns a B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jaylon Braxton at No. 215 is 28 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick No. 2 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the 10th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Eric Singleton Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Eric Singleton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at slot 66 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 102nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
They let Darius Taylor come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 3. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jaylon Braxton
Value said wait; Jaylon Braxton in pick No. 215 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joenel Aguero
Somehow Joenel Aguero was still sitting there in the 224th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
