Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for Jalen Milroe, 61 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Winston Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 2nd overall pick they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Nothing to complain about; Jaylin Noel went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 94 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in No. 104, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 179th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They jumped the gun on Jay Higgins, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jason Marshall Jr. in the 200th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
