Cleveland Browns 2022 Draft Grades – Unknown

Isaiah Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma

With Jadeveon Clowney still unsigned, I like the late-round pick of an edge rusher with some upside. Isaiah Thomas has never been a big producer to this point but certainly has some potential. He likely won’t see many snaps in 2022 but has a chance to make the roster.

Jerome Ford, Running Back, Cincinnati

I think this addition has all but sealed the fate that D’Ernest Johnson won’t be around in 2022 but liked this pick with Kareem Hunt also out of contract after the 2022 season. Ford is a guy that catches the ball well and can make people miss.

I don’t expect him to see a lot of action in 2022 but is a guy that could be called upon in 2023. It seems unlikely the Browns will be able to keep Hunt and Nick Chubb long-term.

Michael Woods, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma

The jury is certainly still out on Micahel Woods who transferred from Arkansas and never was involved in the Sooner offense as expected. He has the length and speed to stretch a defense, but no one knows exactly how good he can be.
