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

The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Jermod McCoy, the No. 8 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 248 like a gift left on the doorstep. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
No drama and no debate, Carnell Tate went about where he belonged in No. 6. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 24th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Olaivavega Ioane in the 39th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Max Iheanachor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Iheanachor in pick No. 70. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at Round 5, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 David Bailey
Circle this one: David Bailey at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson at pick 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in slot 204, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jermod McCoy
You do not let a cornerback like Jermod McCoy reach the 248th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
