Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Browns did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody had Tommy Mellott this high, and it is not close. The Browns reached 128 spots to get him at the 257th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 2 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 3, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in slot 94, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 149 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teddye Buchanan. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick192 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
A big swing on Brant Kuithe at No. 192, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
A conviction pick on Maxen Hook at pick 200 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They took Phil Mafah at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Francisco Mauigoa well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 255 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
They talked themselves into Tommy Mellott at the 257th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
