The Browns robbed the room for Cross III. Final grade: B. The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Howard Cross III, the No. 49 name on the board, in the 81st overall pick.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick 27 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 49th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81
Rnd3
Howard Cross III
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Howard Cross III in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91
Rnd3
Nic Anderson
Fair-plus on Nic Anderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman in slot 110 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
No drama and no debate, Wyatt Milum went about where he belonged in No. 113. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
