Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Browns robbed the room for Hunter. Final grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

That Hunter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The Benny reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 9 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at pick 39, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They did well to land Germie Bernard in slot 57, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick No. 70 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the 115th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Nothing to complain about; Kage Casey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at slot 147 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in No. 160 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Good price on Jordan Hall in pick No. 248, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Colbie Young
By-the-book stuff, Colbie Young at the 252nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
