Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Browns this weekend: C.

The Browns spent real capital to be 129 picks early on Tommy Mellott, and the board is going to hold them to it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They banked enough surplus on Thornton Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 17 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid a round early for JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 1, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 49th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A wild overpay on Jalen Milroe in pick 68, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
No drama and no debate, Chris Paul Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 81. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in slot 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the 104th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at No. 148. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in slot 179 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick192 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bilhal Kone in Round 6, Pick 16, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 200 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Tahj Brooks for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
They did well to land Maxen Hook in the 216th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 240 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
They reached into another round for Tommy Mellott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
