Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in Sellers, and a B, for the Browns.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Browns spent their marquee pick on LaNorris Sellers, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taaffe. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick 7 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick10 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In the 10th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 34 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
They read the board right and Nyck Harbor was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
The board had Iapani Laloulu higher than the 66th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at slot 71. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
A slide stopped in pick No. 102, with Dontay Corleone worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at Round 5, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Dijon Johnson
They took Dijon Johnson at par in slot 215, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis in the 224th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
