Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Browns won the night they stopped Mensah from sliding. Grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Darian Mensah slide 38 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Chaplin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Bottom line, with Spencer Fano leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick No. 9 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In No. 27 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in the 79th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Chaplin in the 80th pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in slot 106 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
Value with a capital V on DJ McKinney in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
Nothing to complain about; Bray Hubbard went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Terrance Carter Jr. at No. 150 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
A tidy little value on Max Iheanachor in pick No. 171, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Darian Mensah
Darian Mensah in the 204th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick213 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
A premium they did not need to pay, Drayk Bowen a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jerry Wilson in the 244th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
