Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B+
ValueC-
NeedB

FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 257: the Browns steal Fitzgerald and grade out a B+. The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ryan Fitzgerald fell into pick No. 257. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at the 33rd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at slot 58 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
A slide stopped in pick No. 67, with Harold Fannin Jr. worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick86
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 30 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
They paid sticker price for Jaylin Noel in the 103rd overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 127 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick165
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nohl Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at slot 181 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 194th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 202nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
They liked Ja'Corey Brooks enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 38. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217
Rnd6
Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer in pick 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243
Rnd7
Gentry Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Gentry Williams well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
