Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
Larceny in pick 147 lands the Browns a D+, Chambliss and all.

Somebody took the Browns to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Zvada to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Getting Chambliss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Aaron Jones gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 11th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keionte Scott in No. 70. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 90 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They paid sticker price for Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 107, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Skyler Gill-Howard at the 135th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
They took J'Mari Taylor at par in pick No. 144, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Trinidad Chambliss
The board fumbled Trinidad Chambliss all the way to pick 147, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
By-the-book stuff, Gracen Halton at the 177th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 204 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
They did well to land Will Kacmarek in Round 7, Pick 32, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
