Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Browns let Neyor fall and pounced. Final grade: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while edge rusher and safety went begging. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Neyor falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 20 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the 46th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in Round 3, Pick 4 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at the 81st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A curious use of slot 86. Edge rusher and safety needed the pick; a DT-EDGE in Maason Smith did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in pick No. 138. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Rogers at pick No. 164, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and pick 198 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
No edge and no loss on T.J. Sanders in the 204th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick210 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 231st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Taking Isaiah Neyor in slot 232 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
