Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Browns a B-.

The Browns spent real capital to be 88 picks early on Karson Sharar, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Delp pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
By-the-book stuff, Max Iheanachor at pick No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slipping to the 70th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in pick 107 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at slot 146 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at pick No. 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in the 206th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Karson Sharar
Karson Sharar at the 248th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
