Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 124 spots for Arian Smith, and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Mullings pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 19th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at pick 44, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Value said wait; Jayden Higgins in slot 55 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 67th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zane Durant
A wild overpay on Zane Durant in Round 3, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at No. 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Miller
They left a pile of value on the table to take Blake Miller this early at slot 103. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Will Howard
A reach for Will Howard in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at the 167th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick178 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 178 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aydan White
Aydan White at pick 191 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tim Smith
Tim Smith in the 203rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Nothing to complain about; DJ Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kalel Mullings
Steal is underselling it; Kalel Mullings at Round 7, Pick 9 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Arian Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Arian Smith. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
