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

Start where it matters. The Browns took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Moss. Reaching for Mendoza left real value on the table behind him.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In No. 30 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Slaughter. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick62 Rnd2 Austin Barber
No edge and no loss on Austin Barber in slot 62; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A reasonable price with a little left over, Germie Bernard in the 70th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They took Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at par in pick No. 107, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 J.C. Davis
They read the board right and J.C. Davis was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 6. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jyaire Hill
A tidy bit of business in the 147th pick, where Jyaire Hill graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at pick 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss is a better player than the 197th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Jerry Wilson at No. 240 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
