Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Keylan Rutledge at No. 39 will need to, sitting 34 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Zuhn III falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 6 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 24 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Keylan Rutledge
A big swing on Keylan Rutledge at the 39th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
A reach for Garrett Nussmeier in slot 70; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
A tidy little value on Hezekiah Masses in Round 5, Pick 6, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Steal is underselling it; Trey Zuhn III at pick 149 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Bryson Eason
They paid up for Bryson Eason at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Nice patience on Zavion Thomas, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 32. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
