Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for Red Murdock, 41 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Slaughter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
By-the-book stuff, Makai Lemon at Round 1, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Bell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
No edge and no loss on Jalon Kilgore in No. 107; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in pick No. 139 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They went early on Tanner Koziol in the 144th pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Red Murdock
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Red Murdock well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nate Boerkircher
Circle this one: Nate Boerkircher at pick 204 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 248th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
