Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesD FutureA
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Browns get a C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Browns shredded theirs for Kelby Collins. He came off 93 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The final tally is a middling C+.

Getting Coleman Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Hit on Cashius Howell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In the 15th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Nicholas Singleton
In the 23rd overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Chaplin
They paid up for Xavier Chaplin at Round 2, Pick 4 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 DJ McKinney
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ McKinney a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mikail Kamara in slot 77, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kelby Collins
Kelby Collins at slot 147 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
They let Raylen Wilson come to them and pounced at the 149th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
They talked themselves into Princewill Umanmielen at Round 6, Pick 3, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Alex Birchmeier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alex Birchmeier this early at No. 210. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Elliot Washington II
Good price on Elliot Washington II in the 242nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
