Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Browns will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Reese value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Cooper Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 6 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 24 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A reach for Omar Cooper Jr. in the 39th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Miller at Round 3, Pick 6. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They let Ja'Kobi Lane come to them and pounced at slot 107. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
No edge and no loss on Dametrious Crownover in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at No. 146 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in the 149th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They liked Jeff Caldwell enough to skip the value, taking him in the 206th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They took Bryce Foster at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
