Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Vincent Anthony Jr. at Round 5, Pick 9, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

McAlister falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 6th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 24 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Denzel Boston for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
The board had cheaper options than Daylen Everette at the 70th pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at pick No. 107 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at pick 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They talked themselves into Taylen Green at slot 146, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at the 149th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Steal is underselling it; Eric McAlister at Round 6, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at pick 248 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
