Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Browns.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Browns spent No. 228 on Devin Leary, a name the board had a full 63 spots lower.

The Phillips steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Blake Corum
No edge and no loss on Blake Corum in pick No. 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster slipping to No. 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
The board fumbled Andru Phillips all the way to slot 155, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
They went early on Myles Murphy in pick 205, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in Round 6, Pick 33 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Devin Leary
A wild overpay on Devin Leary in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
