Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

There is reaching, and then there is Reuben Fatheree II at No. 257. The Browns jumped the board by 124 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Neal pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A premium they did not need to pay, Jonah Savaiinaea a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 45 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 67: Harold Fannin Jr. for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at slot 103. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Cam Jackson in the 165th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in No. 181 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at slot 202 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the 216th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III is a better player than pick 217 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at Round 7, Pick 39 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
