Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Browns let Melton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Max Melton, the No. 78 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 4 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Reaching for Cephus left real value on the table behind him. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick85 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They read the board right and Devontez Walker was the payoff at pick No. 85. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock is a better player than pick 96 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Max Melton
Circle this one: Max Melton at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
You do not let a wide receiver like Johnny Wilson reach slot 156 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint slipping to No. 206 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Cephus. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
