Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureC+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Browns.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Browns took Riley Leonard a full 68 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Lambert-Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 2nd overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Riley Leonard
They talked themselves into Riley Leonard at No. 33, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reach on Donovan Jackson in pick No. 67; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in pick 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Denzel Burke worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Circle this one: JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 16 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 210th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick216 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Brady Cook
A real head-scratcher, Brady Cook in No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in slot 234, and they pounced on premier safety value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, KeAndre Lambert-Smith in Round 7, Pick 21, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 257th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
