Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns found their guy under center in Sanders: B.

Call it larceny. Omarr Norman-Lott sat on the board until No. 255, and the Browns did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In slot 2 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Armand Membou
The board fumbled Armand Membou all the way to Round 2, Pick 1, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at pick No. 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 94th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bradyn Swinson
They barely believed it either: Bradyn Swinson still on the board at slot 104. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 179 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Azareye'h Thomas
A cornerback of that caliber at the 192nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marcus Mbow
You do not let an offensive lineman like Marcus Mbow reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 6, Pick 40 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick255 Rnd7 Omarr Norman-Lott
Steal is underselling it; Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
