Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns answered their biggest question with Klubnik. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Browns took Cade Klubnik to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Terrell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the 2nd pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
Pick10 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
In No. 10 they get their quarterback of the future. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 34th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Avieon Terrell
You do not let a cornerback like Avieon Terrell reach Round 3, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Logan Jones
A slide stopped in pick 102, with Logan Jones worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Velling
A tidy little value on Jack Velling in slot 215, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at pick No. 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
