Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Browns: B-.

The Browns did not so much draft Jalen Milroe as overpay for him, 61 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Trapilo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 2 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 2, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
By-the-book stuff, Quinshon Judkins at pick 67 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to No. 94 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Phillips. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in slot 179 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby slid further than he should have, and the 192nd overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
The board had Jaylen Reed higher than pick 200, and the safety fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Karene Reid
They let Karene Reid come to them and pounced at the 216th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick255 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing LaJohntay Wester in No. 255. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
