Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Browns, and a B- to prove it.

The Browns' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The cost of the Inniss reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 6 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
They went early on Caleb Lomu in No. 24, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in Round 2, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A tidy little value on Connor Lew in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A straight-up fair deal on Zachariah Branch at the 107th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick 140 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman at the 145th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
A conviction pick on Chase Roberts at slot 148 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Brandon Inniss
They liked Brandon Inniss enough to skip the value, taking him in the 205th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
No edge and no loss on Tony Grimes in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
