Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Browns bet big and early on Jalen Milroe, 58 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That Campbell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Adding Kingsley Suamataia by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 1 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 33rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
They reached into another round for Jalen Milroe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at pick 63. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick66 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 30. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Terrance Ferguson at the 126th pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 179th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
A reach on Jaylin Smith in No. 255; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
