Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
The Browns did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Eric O'Neill; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 31 spots ahead at the 106th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Getting Leavitt where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Browns paired the rookies with proven help, Kolton Miller leading the way.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick10 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick No. 10 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at No. 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in pick 39 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at the 66th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at Round 3, Pick 7 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd3 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in No. 102 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Eric O'Neill
They reached into another round for Eric O'Neill, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Nothing to complain about; Isaac Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
No edge and no loss on J.C. Davis in slot 215; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
