Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Browns, and a B- to prove it.

The Browns spent real capital to be 27 picks early on Zane Durant, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

However the rest shakes out, Kanak at that price is a win they earned. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 6th pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 24 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel Pregnon at slot 39 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 6 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They paid up for Bryce Lance at pick 107 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in the 146th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at Round 5, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They went early on Thaddeus Dixon in pick No. 206, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
