Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Browns bet big and early on Austin Romaine, 62 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Browns indulged a want in Romaine while a need in edge rusher stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Landing Miller that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 21st overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 29 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 2, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in pick No. 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 A.J. Harris
A quiet steal in pick 40: A.J. Harris for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Somehow Christen Miller was still sitting there in slot 46, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Arch Manning
Arch Manning in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They paid a round early for Brian Parker II in pick No. 71, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77 Rnd3 Austin Romaine
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Austin Romaine in pick 77 leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick91 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A big swing on Blake Miller at the 91st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in No. 93 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 CJ Baxter
They reached a country mile for CJ Baxter at Round 4, Pick 4, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 107th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in Round 5, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at slot 146 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at pick No. 151 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
