Draft Grade — Browns

FutureB-
The Browns let Knox fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Browns should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick60
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Fair-plus on Kiran Amegadjie, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
No drama and no debate, Malachi Corley went about where he belonged in pick 86. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at No. 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 161st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168
Rnd5
Keith Randolph Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 32. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
Trey Knox
They barely believed it either: Trey Knox still on the board at slot 204. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
Steal is underselling it; De'Corian Clark at the 210th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Matthew Jones. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Demani Richardson
Demani Richardson at pick 249 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
