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

Thirty-one other rooms let Ja'Kobi Lane slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at pick 107. Highway robbery.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In No. 6 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 24th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel Pregnon at Round 2, Pick 7, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the safety. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They robbed the room for Ja'Kobi Lane here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at the 139th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in slot 144 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in pick 147, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at No. 204 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Micah Morris
No edge and no loss on Micah Morris in slot 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
