FutureA+
Larceny in pick 179 lands the Browns a A-, Fortune and all. The Browns ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The Fortune steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, with Tyler Warren leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 14 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland slipping to slot 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
The board had Derrick Harmon higher than the Round 2 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
Nothing to complain about; TreVeyon Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the 67th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 10: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Belton at No. 104 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
They liked Dillon Gabriel enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179
Rnd6
O'Donnell Fortune
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 179 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 192nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Good price on Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 200, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Karene Reid
Nice patience on Karene Reid, who had no business lasting to the 216th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 255 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
