Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

The Browns spent the pick that matters most on Dante Moore, 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. Mahlman has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Styles at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In pick 10 they get their guy under center for the next decade. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 26 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane slipping to pick No. 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
Good price on KC Concepcion in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 41st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 71st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They took Monroe Freeling at par in No. 106, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tao Johnson
You do not let a safety like Tao Johnson reach Round 5, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at pick No. 144 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 184, where Jermaine Mathews Jr. graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in the 210th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Mahlman well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
