Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Browns would have aced it. Will Kacmarek at pick No. 248 is 65 spots clear of where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Adding DaRon Bland by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 12th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 16th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at No. 39 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in slot 70 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 107 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A tidy little value on CJ Daniels in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 149 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock at No. 177 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
They paid a round early for Jeremiah Wright in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
A real head-scratcher, Will Kacmarek in pick 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
