Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Simpson headlines a B weekend for the Browns.

The search is over. The Browns handed the keys to Ty Simpson, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Jagusah proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Rivers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In the 6th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at the Round 1 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks is a better player than pick No. 39 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 6: Jadarian Price for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Somehow Chandler Rivers was still sitting there in slot 107, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Nothing to complain about; Kage Casey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
A big swing on Charles Jagusah at pick 144, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Connor Tollison
They paid sticker price for Connor Tollison in the 147th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Luke Altmyer
A tidy little value on Luke Altmyer in pick 204, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Colbie Young
They took Colbie Young at par in the 248th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
