Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureA
The Browns checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Browns started one anyway for Monroe Freeling, 25 picks ahead of schedule. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wheatley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 24 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell in slot 39 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They paid sticker price for Malachi Fields in the 70th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Value with a capital V on Brian Parker II in the 82nd overall pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zakee Wheatley at pick 97. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette slid further than he should have, and No. 107 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Schrauth
A tidy little value on Billy Schrauth in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
They did well to land Tim Keenan III in pick No. 144, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Louis at pick 147 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A big swing on Jeff Caldwell at the 204th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
No edge and no loss on John Michael Gyllenborg in Round 7, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
