Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureD
The phones sank the Browns this weekend: D-. The Browns torched the value chart for Davison Igbinosun, taking him 31 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Haulcy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. Adding Kevin Dotson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick 12 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at No. 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
A tidy little value on Emmanuel Pregnon in Round 2, Pick 7, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at slot 45, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick57
Rnd2
Zion Young
Zion Young at the 57th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Julian Neal. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to pick 89, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the 90th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
They talked themselves into Bryce Lance at No. 107, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Fair-plus on Kaytron Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Sammy Omosigho
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sammy Omosigho well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick140
Rnd5
Blake Miller
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Miller in Round 5, Pick 1. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in No. 145 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in pick 152, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165
Rnd5
Terrance Carter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Terrance Carter Jr. at pick No. 165 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229
Rnd7
Brandon Inniss
They reached into another round for Brandon Inniss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
