Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns found their guy under center in Calzada: C.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 313 spots for Zach Calzada, and value like that does not grow back. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

Everything downstream of Zach Calzada depends on Zach Calzada, and the building knows it. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

So much rides on Zach Calzada that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Zach Calzada
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caden Curry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Caden Curry in No. 39, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Le'Veon Moss
A wild overpay on Le'Veon Moss in pick 70, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 107 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 139th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Reid Carrico
They left a pile of value on the table to take Reid Carrico this early at slot 144. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick147 Rnd5 Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Elliot Donald
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elliot Donald well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 DeVonta Smith
A real head-scratcher, DeVonta Smith in pick 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
