Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Browns.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 97 spots for Garrett Dellinger, and value like that does not grow back.

On value alone, Giddens makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 2 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Value said wait; Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 2, Pick 1 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Milroe. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at No. 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Teddye Buchanan. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick192 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 192nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at slot 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at pick 255. The roster fit checks out.
