Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns found their guy under center in Mendoza: B+.

The Browns spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Thieneman falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The cost of the Iheanachor reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 14th pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 26 they get a long-term answer under center, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston slipping to Round 2, Pick 3 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They did well to land Jake Slaughter in the 40th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Nice patience on Dillon Thieneman, who had no business lasting to pick No. 71. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 106 is lovely value for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick141 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in slot 141 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in slot 210, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
They let Tristan Leigh come to them and pounced at pick 240. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
