Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Browns and Uiagalelei: A-.

Call it larceny. DJ Uiagalelei sat on the board until pick No. 177, and the Browns did not need to be asked twice. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Randy Gregory deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In the end it comes back to Tyleik Williams, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
They barely believed it either: Josh Simmons still on the board at Round 3, Pick 17. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the 113th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
A tidy little value on Donovan Edwards in slot 115, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
Taking DJ Uiagalelei in pick 177 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd7 Lander Barton
No edge and no loss on Lander Barton in pick No. 205; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
