Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Thompson: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brenen Thompson, pick No. 204, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will need Freeling to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 13 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick No. 24 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 29th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in pick 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at Round 4, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
The board fumbled Michael Trigg all the way to the 139th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in No. 144 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Fair-plus on DeMonte Capehart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Brenen Thompson
Taking Brenen Thompson in slot 204 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick205 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
A tight end of that caliber at No. 205 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett in the 248th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They took Robert Spears-Jennings at par in pick No. 256, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
