Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Drew Allar selection is the head-turner. The Browns reached 36 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Cameron pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
A conviction pick on Kadyn Proctor at the 6th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick24 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 24 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
A big swing on Malachi Fields at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 6, where Deontae Lawson graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They reached into another round for Drew Allar, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A reach for Domani Jackson in pick 139; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at pick No. 144 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
They barely believed it either: Josh Cameron still on the board at the 204th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in No. 248 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
