Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Mendoza headlines a B weekend for the Browns.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Browns spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

The Lew value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza at the 6th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick24 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
A slide stopped in the Round 1 slot, with Arvell Reese worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Bell
They took Chris Bell at par in slot 39, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Cooper Jr. in No. 70. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Connor Lew
They barely believed it either: Connor Lew still on the board at the 107th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
A tidy little value on Dametrious Crownover in pick 141, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Good price on Isaiah World in pick No. 146, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III in Round 5, Pick 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman at Round 6, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Taking Jeff Caldwell in the 248th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
