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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Brett Norfleet; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 27 spots ahead at No. 248.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. McAlister at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 6 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
The board had cheaper options than Jake Slaughter at the 39th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Max Klare
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Klare. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in slot 107 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
No drama and no debate, Tanner Koziol went about where he belonged in the 146th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A wild overpay on Ted Hurst in Round 5, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
A tidy bit of business in the 206th pick, where Eric McAlister graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet in No. 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
