Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureC
More right than wrong for the Browns, and a B to prove it. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Browns spent Round 6, Pick 25 on CJ Donaldson, a name the board had a full 97 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
The Slaughter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Justin Jefferson gives the group a proven body among the projects.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in pick No. 20 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick24
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 24 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. More want than need.
Pick28
Rnd1
Colton Hood
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston slipping to the 38th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick63
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Nice patience on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 6. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in No. 92, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
They liked Bryce Lance enough to skip the value, taking him in the 107th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 108 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jack Endries
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Endries at pick No. 112, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
No edge and no loss on Davison Igbinosun in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kaleb Proctor
A real head-scratcher, Kaleb Proctor in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
A big swing on Keagen Trost at pick 146, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Cole Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cole Payton. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at the 152nd pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick No. 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206
Rnd6
CJ Donaldson
They reached into another round for CJ Donaldson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
Will Kacmarek
Value said wait; Will Kacmarek in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
