Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Browns: B-.

The Browns spent real capital to be 34 picks early on Max Iheanachor, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 6th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 24th pick they get a true top target at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at No. 39 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Good price on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in Round 3, Pick 6, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
They talked themselves into Max Iheanachor at slot 107, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They did well to land Drew Allar in pick No. 139, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in No. 147 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at Round 5, Pick 14 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick173 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eric McAlister in the 173rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in pick No. 176 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Damari Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Damari Brown at the 248th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
