Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Browns did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice edge rusher is still a hole. The Browns never got to the one that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Reaching for Freeling left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 12 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Value with a capital V on Arvell Reese in the 24th overall pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 70th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane is a better player than pick No. 107 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A straight-up fair deal on Davison Igbinosun at pick 112, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in Round 5, Pick 6 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They went early on Drew Allar in slot 149, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 VJ Payne
The board had VJ Payne higher than slot 206, and the safety fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in pick 248 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
