Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Lew: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Lew pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Kelly has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, with Chris Brazzell II leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston in pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at No. 55 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at Round 3, Pick 6 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick86 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at slot 86 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Taking Zakee Wheatley in Round 4, Pick 7 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bryce Lance
They will replay Bryce Lance at slot 141 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at pick No. 146 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher in pick 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
The board had cheaper options than Jeff Caldwell at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at the 248th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
