Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Fitzgerald: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 119 name on the board, stolen at pick 181. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

The Matthew Stafford deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 6 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Value with a capital V on Jalon Walker in the 37th overall pick, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Tez Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Milroe at pick No. 103, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
A safety of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 26 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in No. 181 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dorian Strong in slot 194, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Steal is underselling it; Earnest Greene III at pick 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick No. 217 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Somehow Corey Kiner was still sitting there in slot 257, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
