Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Browns: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Will Kacmarek at pick No. 248. The Browns jumped the board by 65 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Lance pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
By-the-book stuff, Carnell Tate at slot 12 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick20 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Good price on Chris Johnson in Round 2, Pick 7, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tidy bit of business in No. 70, where Eli Stowers graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 109th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in the 146th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They talked themselves into Taylen Green at pick 156, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Red Murdock
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Red Murdock in No. 206. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at the 214th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
A big swing on Will Kacmarek at the 248th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
