Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns drew a line under the quarterback search with Manning: B.

The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Semaj Morgan, the No. 52 name on the board, sitting there at pick 141 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Everything downstream of Arch Manning depends on Arch Manning, and the building knows it. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. 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
Pick2 Rnd1 Arch Manning
No drama and no debate, Arch Manning went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick10 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 10 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Anthony Hill Jr. reach the 34th overall pick and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in pick 66 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd3 Domani Jackson
They barely believed it either: Domani Jackson still on the board at slot 102. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Semaj Morgan
Semaj Morgan at No. 141 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
The board fumbled Elliot Washington II all the way to Round 6, Pick 39, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
Taking Kayin Lee in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
