Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 52 spots for Donovan Smith, and value like that does not grow back. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Getting Schwesinger where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 2 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Emmanwori in the 33rd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slipping to No. 67 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Carson Schwesinger in the 94th overall pick, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe is a better player than Round 4, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Cam Skattebo graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at No. 138 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ Dippre in Round 6, Pick 24, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
A big swing on Donovan Smith at slot 216, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
