Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The cost of the Brailsford reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
They took Carnell Tate at par in Round 1, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick26 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A reach for Jake Slaughter in pick 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III slid further than he should have, and pick No. 70 is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at slot 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A premium they did not need to pay, Parker Brailsford a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They liked Tanner Koziol enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in the 145th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at No. 205 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They paid sticker price for Riley Mahlman in the 231st overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King at pick 248 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
