Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
A solid, sensible weekend for the Browns: B+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Browns started one anyway for Monroe Freeling, 39 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Reese steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The Caelen Carson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 12 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 24 they get a green-dot type in the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Monroe Freeling. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They paid sticker price for Zachariah Branch in Round 4, Pick 7, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at slot 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
No edge and no loss on Ted Hurst in Round 5, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
By-the-book stuff, Treydan Stukes at the 147th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at pick No. 204 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
The board had cheaper options than Jacobe Johnson at the 221st pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at No. 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
