Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Tuten should have been long gone. The Browns pounced, and earned a B+.

The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, in the Round 6 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Emmanwori at pick 33 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 43rd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at slot 67. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 94 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
The board had cheaper options than JJ Pegues at the 165th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
No drama and no debate, Antwane Wells Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
They barely believed it either: Ryan Fitzgerald still on the board at Round 6, Pick 16. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in pick No. 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
The board fumbled Bhayshul Tuten all the way to the 216th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick 217, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick257 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Steal is underselling it; Isaac TeSlaa at No. 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
