Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Browns started one anyway for Jalen Milroe, 61 picks ahead of schedule.

The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick No. 56, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jaylin Noel
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Noel in the 62nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They took Elijah Arroyo at par in the 67th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at slot 94 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They let Charles Grant come to them and pounced at pick 104. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Nice patience on RJ Harvey, who had no business lasting to the 179th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at No. 192 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 200 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A slide stopped in the 216th overall pick, with Jay Higgins worth more than the price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Hawes at pick No. 255 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
