Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
The Browns won the night they stopped Bassa from sliding. Grade: A. When a board-topper like Jeffrey Bassa slides to pick 191, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not.
Reaching for Howard left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
It is a haul that will look even better come September.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
They let Tetairoa McMillan come to them and pounced at the 13th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick17
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 17 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in slot 34. It fills a real need, too.
Pick46
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Josh Conerly Jr. at Round 2, Pick 14 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 84 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cody Simon
A real head-scratcher, Cody Simon in pick 93 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
They will replay Sebastian Castro at the 105th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 148th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 166 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick177
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at No. 177 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick205
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
Somehow Cobee Bryant was still sitting there in slot 205, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214
Rnd6
Davison Igbinosun
They took Davison Igbinosun at par in Round 6, Pick 39, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at the 215th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at pick No. 239 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
