Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Daevin Hobbs at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 64 spots clear of his grade. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Caleb Lomu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In No. 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In slot 26 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They took Emmanuel Pregnon at par in pick 39, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in pick No. 70 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 22 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at pick 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
A premium they did not need to pay, Nate Boerkircher a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
A slide stopped in the 146th pick, with Dametrious Crownover worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 168th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Daevin Hobbs in Round 6, Pick 25, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick248 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
The board had cheaper options than De'Zhaun Stribling at slot 248, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
