Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Browns.

The Browns did not so much draft Shilo Sanders as overpay for him, 28 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Starks. The Browns paired the rookies with proven help, Braden Smith leading the way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Emeka Egbuka. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A quiet steal in the 39th pick: Malaki Starks for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 45 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick63 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at the 63rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 3, Pick 3 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 80 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in Round 4, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in pick No. 133. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Good price on Mitchell Evans in slot 148, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A tidy little value on Ollie Gordon II in the 179th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in pick 192 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Addison West
They paid a round early for Addison West in the 200th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
A premium they did not need to pay, Ja'Corey Brooks a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A straight-up fair deal on Jabbar Muhammad at slot 233, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
A reach for Roc Taylor in the 240th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
A conviction pick on Moliki Matavao at No. 255 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at pick No. 257. A need, and now a little less of one.
