Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Browns won the night they stopped Neal from sliding. Grade: D.

The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Devin Neal fell into Round 6, Pick 38. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

Every board in the league had Shough lower, and that gap is the story. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 2nd pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 29 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at pick No. 33. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in Round 2, Pick 29 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board had Harold Fannin Jr. higher than the 67th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in slot 79 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 94 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
They reached a country mile for Tyler Shough at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 194th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at Round 6, Pick 38. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 217 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in slot 244, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick257 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick No. 257 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
