Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA
The Browns robbed the room for Nussmeier. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Garrett Nussmeier tumbling to the Browns in Round 6, Pick 7 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Collins to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 26 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
A tidy little value on Jalen Milroe in Round 2, Pick 4, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at pick 57 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick63 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
The board fumbled Josh Conerly Jr. all the way to slot 63, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in the 92nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in No. 110, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Garrett Nussmeier
Steal is underselling it; Garrett Nussmeier at the 182nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 185th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 199 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Somehow Quincy Riley was still sitting there in pick 206, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
A reach on Alfred Collins in Round 7, Pick 38; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at slot 253 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
