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

The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Aamil Wagner fell into the Round 6 slot.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The cost of the Hurst reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 7. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Max Klare
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Klare in the 72nd overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in the 107th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon is a better player than pick 139 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A conviction pick on Tanner Koziol at slot 144 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A reach on Ted Hurst in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at the 197th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bud Clark. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They paid sticker price for Nolan Rucci in pick 248, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
