Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns won the night they stopped Rosengarten from sliding. Grade: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Goncalves pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Getting Rosengarten where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick 60 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 63rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick70 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 70 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at the 75th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Good price on Mike Sainristil in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 26, where Braden Fiske graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
A conviction pick on Dillon Johnson at the 108th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malik Washington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in the 127th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a linebacker in Tommy Eichenberg did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keith Randolph Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They took Aki Ogunbiyi at par in slot 197, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Taking Roger Rosengarten in No. 205 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
