Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-

TradesF
FutureA+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Branch reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu at pick No. 24 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at Round 2, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Connor Lew in No. 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick 86 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 107th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at slot 139 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
No drama and no debate, Tanner Koziol went about where he belonged in the 144th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Nothing to complain about; Davison Igbinosun went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204
Rnd6
De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 204 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in Round 6, Pick 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
No edge and no loss on Jamari Lyons in the 248th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
