Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
McDonald should have been long gone. The Browns pounced, and earned a D+.

Somebody took the Browns to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D+.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The McDonald steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The cost of the Lomu reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 30th pick they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
The board fumbled Garrett Nussmeier all the way to No. 62, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kayden McDonald
They barely believed it either: Kayden McDonald still on the board at the 65th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
No edge and no loss on Jaeden Roberts in pick 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at pick No. 97 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Will Lee III
You do not let a cornerback like Will Lee III reach No. 103 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Austin Siereveld
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Austin Siereveld in pick No. 114, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes at pick 123 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Bryce Lance
Somehow Bryce Lance was still sitting there in the 150th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 153 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
Steal is underselling it; DJ McKinney at the 155th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick204 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Circle this one: Aamil Wagner at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 29 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
