Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Browns: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Browns did exactly that with Vincent Anthony Jr. in pick No. 141. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Cooper Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 3rd pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 27 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 38th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at Round 3, Pick 5 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 104 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
They talked themselves into Vincent Anthony Jr. at No. 141, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
They took Eric Rivers at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard slipping to the 148th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
A big swing on Bear Alexander at the 210th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III is a better player than Round 7, Pick 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
