FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-. The Browns put a flag in the ground for Desmond Evans, 205 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The Bassa pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in No. 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 54th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jack Bech
They took Jack Bech at par in Round 3, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to No. 94, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Circle this one: Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 102 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163
Rnd5
Joshua Gray
A reach for Joshua Gray in Round 5, Pick 26; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177
Rnd6
Desmond Evans
They reached a country mile for Desmond Evans at pick No. 177, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
They paid sticker price for Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at the 198th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
Value said wait; Jake Briningstool in slot 214 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Taking Jeffrey Bassa in the 215th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick256
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 256 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
