Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Browns spent real capital to be 22 picks early on Austin Siereveld, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 2 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 4th pick they get a No. 1 receiver, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In pick No. 27 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Austin Barber
A real head-scratcher, Austin Barber in No. 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at slot 106 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
