Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Browns won the night they stopped Muhammad from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malik Muhammad, the No. 79 name on the board, stolen at the 107th overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in Round 2, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62 Rnd2 Connor Lew
A clean, defensible pick in No. 62 with a little surplus value in Connor Lew. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaeden Roberts at the 80th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
No edge and no loss on Caleb Tiernan in pick 86; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Nothing to complain about; Drew Shelton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in pick No. 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
A quiet steal in slot 115: Keon Sabb for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A tidy little value on Zachariah Branch in Round 4, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Chase Bisontis
Value with a capital V on Chase Bisontis in pick No. 139, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at pick 144 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
Nice patience on Jadarian Price, who had no business lasting to No. 147. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They let Drew Allar come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
A tidy bit of business in the 206th overall pick, where Earnest Greene III graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
A slide stopped in the 220th pick, with Evan Stewart worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at pick No. 228 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jerry Wilson at the 248th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Peyton Bowen
By-the-book stuff, Peyton Bowen at the 249th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
