Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Browns ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Bernard pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 12 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A straight-up fair deal on Jake Slaughter at slot 39, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They read the board right and Germie Bernard was the payoff at pick No. 70. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at No. 107 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
