Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns found their guy under center in Klubnik: D+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Akheem Mesidor at pick 224, a reach of 40 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of Cade Klubnik depends on Cade Klubnik, and the building knows it.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Taaffe that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 8 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick10 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
In slot 10 they get a franchise quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate is a better player than pick 34 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at the 66th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 R Mason Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on R Mason Thomas at Round 3, Pick 19, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Aaron Graves reach slot 102 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
Good price on Monroe Mills in pick No. 141, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in the 215th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at No. 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
