Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC TradesC+ FutureB
Mestemaker is the Browns' new face under center. Grade: C+.

The Browns used real capital on Drew Mestemaker with the position not exactly urgent, a bet on tomorrow at the spot that matters most. The final tally is a middling C+.

The Green reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will answer for taking quarterback early while wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Echols.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drew Mestemaker
A surprising call. With wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent No. 6 on Drew Mestemaker, a quarterback they were not short of.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
No drama and no debate, Kade Pieper went about where he belonged in pick No. 39. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zach Lutmer
No edge and no loss on Zach Lutmer in pick 70; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick107 Rnd4 Luke Reynolds
Luke Reynolds at the 107th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jackson Bennee
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jackson Bennee at safety with wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Evans
Justin Evans in the 139th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144 Rnd5 Whit Weeks
They paid sticker price for Whit Weeks in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 AJ Green
A swing that ignored the value entirely, AJ Green well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick204 Rnd6 Coen Echols
Coen Echols in pick No. 204 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Byrum Brown
The board had cheaper options than Byrum Brown at the 248th overall pick, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
