Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Browns turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Browns spent real capital to be 109 picks early on Nick Barrett, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Prysock.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 24 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 31st pick they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A quiet steal in pick 49: Emmanuel Pregnon for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
They paid a round early for Max Iheanachor in the 63rd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The board had Keionte Scott higher than No. 79, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at Round 3, Pick 18 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
A real head-scratcher, Nadame Tucker in pick No. 107 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They talked themselves into Mike Washington Jr. at slot 114, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in pick 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at the 144th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nick Barrett
They reached into another round for Nick Barrett, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ephesians Prysock in the 204th overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Good price on Raylen Wilson in No. 234, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick248 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They jumped the gun on Logan Taylor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
