Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Lew: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Browns were there to profit. Connor Lew, the No. 65 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 91.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Chambliss reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in pick No. 36, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Kobi Lane at pick 70 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They barely believed it either: Connor Lew still on the board at the 91st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
They jumped the gun on Trinidad Chambliss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They took Kage Casey at par in slot 145, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
Good price on Quinten Joyner in No. 200, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Foster at Round 6, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They went early on Jordan Hall in pick 248, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
