Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Leavitt: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Sam Leavitt got past him. The Browns do not have to explain a thing at pick 144. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Leigh pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Damon Wilson II
In pick No. 26 they get a premier pass rusher, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Gilliam
Xavier Gilliam in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Braylon Staley
Braylon Staley at the 91st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Faletau Satuala
Faletau Satuala in No. 118 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dom Nichols
No edge and no loss on Dom Nichols in the 122nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 Desmeal Leigh
Value said wait; Desmeal Leigh in pick 127 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sam Leavitt
Circle this one: Sam Leavitt at slot 144 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Melkart Abou Jaoude
Melkart Abou Jaoude at the 165th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
