Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns answered their biggest question with Howard. Grade: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Will Howard at the 31st overall pick will need to, sitting 100 spots clear of his grade.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They have staked the next five years on Will Howard, which is the only story that really matters here.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 2nd overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Will Howard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Howard well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at pick 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 93rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick102 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick No. 177 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Connor Colby at No. 190. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 198th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 39 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 215 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Paris Shand
They talked themselves into Paris Shand at the 256th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
