Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Browns this weekend: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Browns, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sarratt. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Caleb Lomu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 28 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Fair-plus on Chris Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in pick No. 70 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at the 91st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A conviction pick on Bryce Lance at Round 4, Pick 7 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Jones
Nice patience on Logan Jones, who had no business lasting to pick 139. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaiah World
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 144, where Isaiah World graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Louis at Round 5, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204 Rnd6 VJ Payne
They read the board right and VJ Payne was the payoff at No. 204. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 248th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
