Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Miller: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Blake Miller, No. 144, roughly 87 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Durant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In slot 6 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. More want than need.
Pick39 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II slid further than he should have, and pick No. 39 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Arvell Reese
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Arvell Reese, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at pick 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 139 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Blake Miller
Steal is underselling it; Blake Miller at the 144th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the 147th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
You do not let a tight end like Marlin Klein reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
They will replay Jaren Kanak at pick 248 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
