Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

The Browns treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 57 on Jalen Milroe a full 37 spots early. The final tally is a middling C+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Paul Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 8 they get a three-down runner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at the 33rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 2, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
They went early on Jared Ivey in slot 67, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A quiet steal in pick 94: Chris Paul Jr. for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
