Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Browns.

The Browns went off the board in a big way for Tyler Baron, 53 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Brooks steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Edge rusher 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
A real head-scratcher, Shemar Turner in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at slot 94. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Baron. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
They talked themselves into Jalen McLeod at the 179th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slipping to the 192nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Value with a capital V on Upton Stout in pick No. 200, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A reach on Carson Vinson in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Corey Brooks reach pick 255 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
