Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureC+
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Jalen Thompson at pick No. 248 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Reese.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 6 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick39 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in Round 2, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in the 49th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick 107 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Logan Jones
No drama and no debate, Logan Jones went about where he belonged in slot 140. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd5 Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in slot 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Jatta. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A premium they did not need to pay, Thaddeus Dixon a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
They talked themselves into Jalen Thompson at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack in the 257th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
