TimBro59 DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns

Draft Grade — Browns

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Will Kacmarek; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 31 spots ahead at No. 248. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Taaffe value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 6th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In pick 24 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at pick No. 39 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in Round 4, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
By-the-book stuff, Beau Stephens at the 139th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in the 144th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Davison Igbinosun. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They talked themselves into Trey Zuhn III at No. 204, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248
Rnd7
Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at slot 248 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
