Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Neal: B.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, in No. 180. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 5th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luther Burden III at pick 36 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 3, Pick 3 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick No. 93 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaxson Dart this early at slot 103. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 166 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick180 Rnd6 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Circle this one: Connor Colby at the 187th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at the 214th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in pick 215 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
