Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Jordan Hall pick is the one that will follow the Browns into the fall. They took him 100 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 18 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the 26th pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caleb Tiernan this early at Round 2, Pick 7. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel Pregnon in pick No. 49. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A premium they did not need to pay, Carson Beck a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They jumped the gun on Zachariah Branch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
They took Bishop Fitzgerald at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at the 126th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in No. 139 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A reach for Bryce Boettcher in the 144th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at slot 147 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in pick No. 204, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ja'Keem Jackson
They paid up for Ja'Keem Jackson at Round 7, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
