Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns won the night they stopped Lomu from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Caleb Lomu got past him. The Browns do not have to explain a thing at the 70th pick.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Bisontis pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 6th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In slot 24 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 7. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Caleb Lomu
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They liked Chase Bisontis enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 107. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 140th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A tidy little value on Skyler Gill-Howard in pick 145, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
They paid sticker price for Jaden Greathouse in No. 148, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Somehow Bud Clark was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier safety value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
Fair-plus on Jacobe Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
