Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Browns. The Browns' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.
The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The Freeling pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
They left a pile of value on the table to take Monroe Freeling this early at Round 1, Pick 6. The roster fit checks out.
Pick24
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick39
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 39 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slipping to the 70th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116
Rnd4
Genesis Smith
You do not let a safety like Genesis Smith reach the 116th overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart is a better player than slot 141 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon slid further than he should have, and pick No. 146 is lovely value for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 149 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in the 155th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 206 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
They paid a round early for De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 248, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
