Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Browns bet the future on Milroe. The board says B-.

The Browns treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 22 on Jalen Milroe a full 73 spots early.

Everything downstream of Jalen Milroe depends on Jalen Milroe, and the building knows it. That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 1, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick33 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in No. 49, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They read the board right and Alfred Collins was the payoff at pick No. 67. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at the 82nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at slot 94 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A slide stopped in pick 104, with Darius Alexander worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A big swing on Sai'vion Jones at the 125th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick No. 179 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McLeod in Round 6, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They took KeAndre Lambert-Smith at par in the 197th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jay Higgins at slot 200, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216 Rnd6 John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
