Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB+
The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Thieneman: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Thieneman, the Round 2 slot, roughly 25 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick24 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at the 39th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Thieneman at pick 57 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A tidy bit of business in the 70th overall pick, where Jake Slaughter graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad slid further than he should have, and pick No. 107 is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
Value with a capital V on Billy Schrauth in No. 139, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 147: Mike Washington Jr. for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
They read the board right and Kobe Baynes was the payoff at No. 204. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trebor Pena at the 248th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
