Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Sellers headlines a B- weekend for the Browns.

The Browns looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Micah Morris at No. 243 regardless, 83 picks early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They have staked the next five years on LaNorris Sellers, which is the only story that really matters here. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Haulcy. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick 2 they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick21 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
They paid a round early for Jake Slaughter in Round 1, Pick 21, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick38 Rnd2 Austin Barber
They left a pile of value on the table to take Austin Barber this early at pick No. 38. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Somehow Elijah Sarratt was still sitting there in the 69th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 A.J. Haulcy
They barely believed it either: A.J. Haulcy still on the board at No. 104. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at the 148th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III is a better player than pick 241 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Micah Morris well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
