Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let McCoy fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Jermod McCoy slides to the 248th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 39 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey at the 70th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
Somehow Jordyn Tyson was still sitting there in the 146th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jermod McCoy
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jermod McCoy in pick No. 248, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
