Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns let Fitzgerald fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Ryan Fitzgerald slide 83 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

If Hemingway pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end it comes back to Wyatt Milum, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 20 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at slot 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 2, Pick 19 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 57th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in No. 67 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick 74. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at No. 80 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in the 94th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at slot 103 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in Round 5, Pick 26 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 181st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 194 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
You do not let a specialist like Ryan Fitzgerald reach pick 202 and blink. They did not. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
No edge and no loss on Hayden Conner in the 210th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A real head-scratcher, Ty Hamilton in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They talked themselves into Tonka Hemingway at slot 217, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
The board fumbled Ollie Gordon II all the way to the 257th pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
