Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Larceny in the 69th pick lands the Browns a B, Sadiq and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 22 name on the board, stolen at slot 69. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate at No. 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick27 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 27 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Lomu at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick50 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They did well to land Olaivavega Ioane in pick 50, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
Taking Kenyon Sadiq in slot 69 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 4, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Circle this one: Jaishawn Barham at the 141st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 142nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
By-the-book stuff, Tim Keenan III at the 148th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at Round 6, Pick 29 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 James Smith
A tidy little value on James Smith in pick 248, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
