Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns let Wright fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Dae'Quan Wright slides to the 206th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
No drama and no debate, Makai Lemon went about where he belonged in the 6th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Good price on Brandon Cisse in pick No. 39, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Rodriguez at slot 70, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick107 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They took Keylan Rutledge at par in Round 4, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaytron Allen. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at pick 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They let Eli Heidenreich come to them and pounced at No. 248. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
