Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Goosby: B.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Trevor Goosby, the No. 56 name on the board, in pick 244. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 27th overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kadyn Proctor
They will replay Kadyn Proctor at Round 2, Pick 8 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Olaivavega Ioane
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Olaivavega Ioane in slot 71, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordyn Tyson
You do not let a wide receiver like Jordyn Tyson reach pick No. 106 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Fernando Mendoza
A quarterback of that caliber at the 141st pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in pick 145, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at No. 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Nyck Harbor
They barely believed it either: Nyck Harbor still on the board at pick No. 204. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trevor Goosby
The board fumbled Trevor Goosby all the way to Round 7, Pick 29, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
