Draft Grade — Browns
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Fitzgerald: D+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tommy Mellott at pick 256, a reach of 93 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

The Fitzgerald steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 22 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A straight-up fair deal on Aireontae Ersery at slot 45, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in pick 67 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 80 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick86 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aeneas Peebles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tez Johnson at the 102nd overall pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 123rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 163 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
A tidy bit of business in the 190th pick, where Willie Lampkin graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at No. 198 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, Ryan Fitzgerald in slot 214, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in the 215th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tommy Mellott in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
