Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Ethan Downs, 68 picks early at Round 6, Pick 24.

The Bryant value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at No. 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
They reached into another round for Ashton Gillotte, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in pick No. 94 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They liked Hollin Pierce enough to skip the value, taking him in the 103rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
The board fumbled LeQuint Allen all the way to pick 165, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick 194 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ethan Downs
They reached a country mile for Ethan Downs at the 202nd pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at No. 216 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the 217th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at Round 7, Pick 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
