Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B

Milroe is the plan now, and the Browns grade out a B.

The search is over. The Browns handed the keys to Jalen Milroe, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

On value alone, Dumas-Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In slot 27 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at pick No. 59 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick 91. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ricky White
Ricky White in the 123rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jordan James
No drama and no debate, Jordan James went about where he belonged in No. 187. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
