Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Eli Heidenreich; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 34 spots ahead at the 218th overall pick. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Royer steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 26 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick28 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 28 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at the 39th pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing D'Angelo Ponds in Round 2, Pick 28. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 91: Mike Washington Jr. for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in pick No. 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joe Royer
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Joe Royer at the 146th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DeMonte Capehart at the 149th overall pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green slid further than he should have, and pick 206 is lovely value for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eli Heidenreich. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
