Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Mendoza: A-.

Call it larceny. Fernando Mendoza sat on the board until slot 141, and the Browns did not need to be asked twice. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick 10 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson slid further than he should have, and slot 36 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick66 Rnd3 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in the 66th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at the 102nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Fernando Mendoza
Taking Fernando Mendoza in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
Good price on Elliot Washington II in No. 215, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at pick No. 224 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
