Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Browns get a C+.

Some picks age like wine; Ty French at Round 4, Pick 2 will need to, sitting 320 spots clear of his grade.

The Hairston steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

If Luther Burden III and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luther Burden III well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick33 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
They talked themselves into Quinn Ewers at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 LeQuint Allen
They reached into another round for LeQuint Allen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hollin Pierce. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ty French
Value said wait; Ty French in slot 104 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at the 179th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick192 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at pick No. 192 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
A real head-scratcher, Jasheen Davis in Round 6, Pick 24 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Maxwell Hairston
They will replay Maxwell Hairston at pick 216 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in slot 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
