Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Browns bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Torricelli Simpkins III, 94 picks early at the 179th pick. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That White III pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 14 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Value said wait; Jalen Milroe in the 67th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Neal
By-the-book stuff, Devin Neal at Round 3, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Smael Mondon Jr.. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick179 Rnd6 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached into another round for Torricelli Simpkins III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Nice patience on Jack Nelson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 196. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Toia
They paid sticker price for Jay Toia in the 200th overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at pick 228 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in slot 255 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
