Pick #2 traded to Jacksonville for 1st #5, 2nd #36, a swap of 4th rounders, and a 2026 1st round draft pick. (A) To trade down 3 spots the Browns got a haul including the key to the trade a 2026 1st that can help the Browns try to acquire a franchise QB in 2026.
Pick #5 - Mason Graham DT Michigan. Really the safest pick in the draft. A two time all American, rose bowl MVP in 2023, and 2023 National Champion. Highest graded college DT according to PFF. A run stuffer specialist and penetrates opposing teams backfields and causes havoc. (A)
Pick #33 - Carson Schwesinger MLB UCLA. High motor Linebacker that went from walk on to All Big Ten linebacker in 2025. 1 Year starter. PFF highest graded pass rushing linebacker in the draft. 27.4% pass rush win rate which is 2nd highest of any defender in the draft. (B)
Pick #36 - Quinshon Judkins RB Ohio State. A big fast and violent running back. SEC Freshman running back of the year, National Champion at Ohio State. 220 pound back that runs a 4.48 40 yard dash speed. (A)
Pick #67 - Harold Fannon Jr. TE Bowling Green. Slightly under sized tight end with huge production in college. Great hands, Averages making 3+ defenders miss on tackles per game. (A)
Pick #94 - Dillon Gabriel QB Oregon. This pick was a huge reach. Picked around 70 spots higher than projections. Undersized QB at 5'11 but probably even shorter. Did not get measured and weighed at combine. Does not possess a strong arm. Experienced college QB with 5 years as starter at 3 different schools. (F)
Pick #125 - Dylon Sampson RB Tennessee. Speedy running back that led the nation in causing defenders to miss tackles. 4.42 40-yard dash speed. (A)
Pick #144 - Sheduer Sanders QB Colorado. Slightly under sized QB that is an accurate passer. With clean pockets had an 80% completion %. Not a great athlete and does not possess a strong arm but was the 2nd rated QB in this draft class and Browns got great value in the 3rd round. (B)
Overall B+ Great trade that produced an extra 2nd in 2025 and a 1st in 2026. Only pick that was a head scratcher was Dillon Gabriel in the 3rd round. There was good value at Offensive line, wide receiver, and safety available at that pick. The Browns reached and took Gabriel 2 rounds early and got terrible value for that pick on the player that is best suited to be long term backup QB. If not for that pick this draft would be a solid A.
I get that you may not like the Gabriel pick, but it wasn't a "F". The kid is a good player at minimum.
