Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Fitzgerald slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at slot 256. Highway robbery.

Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The Garrett Wilson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to the 67th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They will replay Tate Ratledge at the 100th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in pick 102, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at Round 5, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick No. 163 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 177th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in slot 188 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick198 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A tight end of that caliber at No. 198 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
The board fumbled Ryan Fitzgerald all the way to slot 256, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
