Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Milroe is the plan now, and the Browns grade out a C.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Reuben Fatheree II in the 216th overall pick, a good 165 spots before the room expected him.

However the rest shakes out, Fitzgerald at that price is a win they earned. Jalen Milroe is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

So much rides on Jalen Milroe that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in Round 1, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle Kennard well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 45th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They let Harold Fannin Jr. come to them and pounced at pick 67. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in pick No. 80, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 103rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at pick 140 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Brandon Adams
A big swing on Brandon Adams at the 161st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick No. 181 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at No. 194. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach Round 6, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Reuben Fatheree II
A real head-scratcher, Reuben Fatheree II in slot 216 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jay Toia
They reached into another round for Jay Toia, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
A specialist of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
