Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Browns.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Browns spent the 248th pick on Will Kacmarek, a name most had 67 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Wheatley steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They liked Omar Cooper Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 70th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Somehow Zakee Wheatley was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at pick No. 139 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They paid a round early for Tanner Koziol in Round 5, Pick 6, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A reach on Davison Igbinosun in slot 147; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
They reached into another round for Will Kacmarek, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
