Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueC NeedB TradesD FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Browns: C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Browns would have aced it. Jalen Milroe at pick 33 is 61 spots clear of where he belonged.

Landing Winston Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 5 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, reach and all.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Milroe in the 33rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They paid sticker price for Jack Nelson in No. 179, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in the 192nd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at Round 6, Pick 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They jumped the gun on Jaylin Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
