Cleveland Browns: Grading every 2019 NFL Draft pick
By Cory Kinnan
To wrap up the 2019 NFL Draft season and move forward towards training camp, here is a grade for each pick made by the Cleveland Browns and a final grade.
The 2019 NFL Draft is completed and the Cleveland Browns, although they did not have a first round pick which was surrendered in the Odell Beckham Jr. trade, they still walked away with seven players regardless. The trend is now to give the draft a grade, and in this case, each individual pick will be given a grade which will be averaged out for a final grade.
The grading scale is as stated below:
A+: 100
A: 95
A-: 90
B+: 88
B: 85
B-: 80
C+: 78
C: 75
C-: 70
D+: 68
D: 65
D-: 60
F: 50
Odell Beckham Jr. will factor in as the Browns’ first round pick in this case, and Cleveland receives a grade of an A+ for their fleecing of the New York Giants. In the end, the trade ended up resulting in OBJ for safety Jabrill Peppers, Clemson defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, and Old Dominion edge rusher Oshane Ximines.
The Browns added a ton of talent to their roster, made some reaches, and found some gems in the late round as well. Here is a grade for each of the Browns draft picks made in the 2019 NFL Draft by general manager John Dorsey and his team last weekend.
