Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Sampson: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dylan Sampson, the 163rd pick, roughly 114 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will need Howard to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 2nd pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at slot 67 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at pick 94 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 102, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the 163rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
