Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Browns let Lawson fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Deontae Lawson tumbling to the Browns in the 167th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They are betting Brosmer proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 24th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 1 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in pick 56. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to No. 67, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at slot 103 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the 138th pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach pick No. 167 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick178 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 178 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick191 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 191 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kobe King
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
They went early on Jaylin Smith in the 214th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer at slot 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
