Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Kanak should have been long gone. The Browns pounced, and earned a B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Browns did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They banked enough surplus on Kanak to cover a lot of smaller sins. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 6 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In pick 24 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Cisse went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew slipping to No. 70 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II is a better player than the 107th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Isaiah World
They took Isaiah World at par in the 139th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth at the 144th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Good price on Jaeden Roberts in the 147th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Toriano Pride Jr. at No. 204, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak at Round 7, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
