Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Browns let Milum fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Wyatt Milum slide 211 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Matt Goncalves deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get protection for the quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 33 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at pick 38 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in slot 52, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to the 54th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emery Jones Jr.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
They barely believed it either: Tyler Booker still on the board at the 68th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a safety like Jahdae Barron reach No. 83 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They will replay Tate Ratledge at No. 86 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in the 104th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Bear Alexander
Taking Bear Alexander in slot 142 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 149 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick160 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at Round 5, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Cam Ward
They robbed the room for Cam Ward here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Jason Marshall Jr. at the 207th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at Round 7, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 253 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
