Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Larceny in the 228th overall pick lands the Browns a D, Still and all.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Browns did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Still where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The veteran additions, Justin Fields chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 37 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keon Coleman at slot 54 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Junior Colson
The board had Junior Colson higher than Round 3, Pick 22, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in the 108th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They read the board right and Kris Abrams-Draine was the payoff at pick 135. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at slot 140, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick No. 155 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in Round 6, Pick 30. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Davis at pick 208 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still in the 228th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
