Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Lachey: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Luke Lachey had no business being available in slot 100, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 59 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at No. 100 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
They robbed the room for Rylie Mills here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Justin Walley
Justin Walley is a better player than pick 187 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
