Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a C. The Browns did not so much draft Cody Lindenberg as overpay for him, 64 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Riley. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 17 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 49 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in the 81st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Value with a capital V on Jalen Milroe in the 104th overall pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach Round 4, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jordan James
A running back of that caliber at the 139th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
No edge and no loss on Jack Kiser in pick 179; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick192
Rnd6
Cody Lindenberg
They talked themselves into Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 192, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick200
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the 200th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
Somehow Quincy Riley was still sitting there in No. 216, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
They robbed the room for Jermari Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
