The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Graham Mertz; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 108 spots ahead at No. 255.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Fannin Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The Schwesinger pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
So much rides on Jahdae Barron that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 12th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
They let Jalon Walker come to them and pounced at slot 33. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick44
Rnd2
Carson Schwesinger
A curious use of the 44th pick. Edge rusher needed the pick; a linebacker in Carson Schwesinger did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 67 is lovely value for the tight end. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A straight-up fair deal on Andrew Mukuba at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ozzy Trapilo in pick 94. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They reached into another round for Jacob Parrish, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in slot 179 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the 192nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216
Rnd6
Desmond Watson
A wild overpay on Desmond Watson in pick 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jay Higgins
Nice patience on Jay Higgins, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 2. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Graham Mertz
A big swing on Graham Mertz at No. 255, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
