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

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Browns left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Every board in the league had Freeling lower, and that gap is the story. They banked enough surplus on Trotter to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 6th pick they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in Round 1, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They liked Omar Cooper Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 39. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josiah Trotter at pick 70 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
No edge and no loss on Jalon Kilgore in the 107th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in slot 144 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 147 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 248 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
