Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Whoever sat across the table from the Browns should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In No. 6 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick107 Rnd4 Williams Nwaneri
Williams Nwaneri in pick No. 107 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
Good price on DJ McKinney in pick 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Raleek Brown
By-the-book stuff, Raleek Brown at slot 144 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Niki Prongos
Nothing to complain about; Niki Prongos went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 Cayden Lee
Cayden Lee at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jake Johnson
They liked Jake Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 248th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
