Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-.

The Zane Durant pick is the one that will follow the Browns into the fall. They took him 68 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They banked enough surplus on Fifita to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick19 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 19 they get a downhill hitter at safety, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
They talked themselves into Nyck Harbor at the 39th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 70th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zane Durant
They reached into another round for Zane Durant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sammy Omosigho. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in slot 147 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Monroe Mills
Value said wait; Monroe Mills in the 148th pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jahiem White
Jahiem White in Round 6, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita in pick 240 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
