Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The tape said wait; the Browns did not. Hayden Conner went at slot 200, a good 65 picks before the board was ready. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Lachey steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 2 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in pick 33, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They paid sticker price for Quinshon Judkins in No. 67, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in Round 3, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 104th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 179th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the 192nd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in pick No. 200 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A tidy bit of business in No. 216, where Luke Lachey graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
The board had LaJohntay Wester higher than slot 255, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
