Cahn DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Browns robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B-. You could see the war room lean forward. Domani Jackson at pick 206 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick 6 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the 24th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in Round 2, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Value with a capital V on Zachariah Branch in slot 70, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in No. 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
Nice patience on CJ Daniels, who had no business lasting to pick No. 146. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206
Rnd6
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at slot 248 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
