Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesD FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Browns: B-.

The Browns put a flag in the ground for Red Murdock, 89 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Klare that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
They paid sticker price for Denzel Boston in pick 24, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson slipping to pick No. 47 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
A real head-scratcher, Kaytron Allen in No. 92 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Red Murdock
Red Murdock in the 107th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Max Klare
Max Klare in the 112th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaeden Roberts this early at the 113th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in pick 146 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at Round 5, Pick 9 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at the 152nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A quiet steal in No. 206: Jeff Caldwell for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 248 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
