Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Browns this weekend: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. If Gabriel pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On value alone, Harvey makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, with Ashton Jeanty leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A clean, defensible pick in the 33rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Emeka Egbuka. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 44 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Cameron Williams at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Value said wait; Jalen Milroe in slot 76 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 30, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dillon Gabriel in pick 104, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and RJ Harvey at No. 179 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Cooper at the 192nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Nice patience on Caleb Ransaw, who had no business lasting to No. 216. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at pick 255 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
