Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Browns committed. Fernando Mendoza is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Leavitt pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They will need Rodriguez to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Mendoza at the 19th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39 Rnd2 Connor Lew
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Connor Lew. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick No. 70 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Sam Leavitt in pick 107, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in slot 146 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in Round 5, Pick 7 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
No edge and no loss on Iapani Laloulu in No. 148; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tree Babalade
A straight-up fair deal on Tree Babalade at pick 197, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jerry Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 26. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
