Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB-
The Browns answered their biggest question with Milroe. Grade: C+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Majors got past him. The Browns do not have to explain a thing at pick 177. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Everything downstream of Jalen Milroe depends on Jalen Milroe, and the building knows it.

With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Hit on Jalen Milroe and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get their quarterback of the future, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Good price on Emeka Egbuka in No. 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 42 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to Round 3, Pick 1, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at No. 90 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick 93 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in the 105th overall pick, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ricky White III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricky White III in pick No. 166, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Somehow Jake Majors was still sitting there in the 177th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 191 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 Addison West
They barely believed it either: Addison West still on the board at No. 205. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at Round 6, Pick 39 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Tim Smith
Tim Smith in the 215th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
