Draft Grade — Browns

Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the Browns a B, Burke and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Denzel Burke at the Round 2 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Oatis lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In slot 27 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 59th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Somehow Danny Stutsman was still sitting there in pick 91, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ricky White
Nothing to complain about; Ricky White went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaheim Oatis
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaheim Oatis a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
