Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Browns robbed the room for Allen. Final grade: D-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. LeQuint Allen tumbling to the Browns in Round 7, Pick 40 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Ritzie has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 2nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick26 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 33rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in slot 67 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick No. 90 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They took Savion Williams at par in No. 94, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to pick 102, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick163 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They reached into another round for Quincy Riley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Gray at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jahvaree Ritzie this early at pick No. 190. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings in Round 6, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at the 199th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 214th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 215 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick256 Rnd7 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
