Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Neal: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Devin Neal, the No. 81 name on the board, stolen at No. 215. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Green proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 2 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Warren at the 33rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 3. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at pick 94 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 147th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick No. 190 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tim Smith
They reached a country mile for Tim Smith at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the 214th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in the 215th pick, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Nyland Green
Nyland Green in Round 7, Pick 40 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
