Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Browns to a C-.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for Da'Shawn Womack, 51 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Landing Lew that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 6 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at pick 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Will Lee III
A slide stopped in No. 70, with Will Lee III worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at slot 82 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in No. 107 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 140, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They took Kage Casey at par in the 145th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at slot 205 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in pick 255 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
