Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Lew: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Browns were there to profit. Connor Lew, the No. 60 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 33. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Freeling lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in slot 40 with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They read the board right and Emmanuel Pregnon was the payoff at the 49th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 70th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in No. 97 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jack Endries
By-the-book stuff, Jack Endries at pick 104 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
They robbed the room for Skyler Bell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the 150th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
