Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a D-.

The Browns did not so much draft Eric O'Neill as overpay for him, 49 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 11 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Brazzell II at Round 1, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at the 40th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They paid up for Trevor Goosby at pick No. 43 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick55 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Nice patience on CJ Allen, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick68 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II at pick 68 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
They reached into another round for Kenyatta Jackson Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
They reached a country mile for Derrick Moore at Round 4, Pick 6, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick150 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
Eric O'Neill at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 204th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kevin Jennings in No. 244. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
