Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Adepoju Adebawore at Round 5, Pick 2, a reach of 72 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In No. 26 they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 A.J. Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, A.J. Harris at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Daylen Everette in pick 71. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Circle this one: Deontae Lawson at the 106th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
A real head-scratcher, Adepoju Adebawore in Round 5, Pick 2 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Terrance Carter Jr. at No. 144 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in slot 184 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Mark Fletcher Jr.
Nice patience on Mark Fletcher Jr., who had no business lasting to the 210th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 240 is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
