The Browns made six selections in this year's draft. How did they do?
Now that the 2024 NFL Draft weekend is officially coming to a close, let's take a look back at each of the Browns' picks. I also give my grades for each selection and then my overall draft grade for Cleveland.In my full seven-round mock draft, I had mocked Hall to the Browns at this very selection. The former Ohio State Buckeye and Northeast Ohio product was heavily linked to Cleveland during the pre-draft process.
To give Thrash some credit, I like his short area quickness, ability to vertically stretch the field and body control when adjusting to the ball in the air. Unless he puts on a consistent, stunning performance in camp, then there is not really a path for significant playing time in 2024. He may get occasional reps in the Marquise Goodwin role from last season.
My issue with this pick comes back to the fact that the Browns already picked a defensive tackle on day two. Now with the addition of Briggs, there are seven defensive tackles listed on the current depth chart. I would imagine only five defensive tackles will make the 53-man roster in the fall and if they go with six, then another position group has to lose a good player. With Dalvin Tomlinson, Shelby Harris, Maurice Hurst II, Quinton Jefferson and rookie Michael Hall Jr.
Headed into this draft, it was well known that the Browns have an incredibly well-rounded roster and didn't have any major needs for the 2024 season. The good news is that this class won't need to make a significant impact this year unless there are numerous long-term injuries. Hopefully that injury bug has been left in the past back in 2023.
We won't truly get a good feel for this group of six until 2025. They will then have the opportunity to prove that I am rating this too low. The frustrating thing is that I truly believe the board fell in a way that Cleveland could have easily walked out of this draft with an A or A- caliber rating despite lacking a high volume of selections. Nonetheless, this does not affect the Browns' playoff or Super Bowl chances this year.
