Draft Grade — Browns

Grand theft in pick 109: the Browns steal Smith and grade out a C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith.

Reaching for Lomu left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in pick No. 24 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in slot 39. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at the 70th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik slid further than he should have, and No. 107 is lovely value for the quarterback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith in Round 4, Pick 9 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Logan Jones in Round 5, Pick 1. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Drew Allar at pick No. 144. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Albert Regis
A straight-up fair deal on Albert Regis at the 147th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tristan Leigh
They jumped the gun on Tristan Leigh, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
Rueben Owens II in pick 248 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
