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

The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 113 name on the board, sitting there at pick 215 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They will need Milroe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They liked Jalen Milroe enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 33. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A conviction pick on Jayden Higgins at the 67th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 94 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in pick 102, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 163rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at Round 6, Pick 2 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick190 Rnd6 Connor Colby
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Colby reach pick No. 190 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the 198th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They let Seth McLaughlin come to them and pounced at pick 214. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 215 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick256 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A clean, defensible pick in the 256th overall pick with a little surplus value in Garrett Dellinger. The roster fit checks out.
