Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureA+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+. The Browns torched the value chart for Barryn Sorrell, taking him 112 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mike Green
They went early on Mike Green in pick 12, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick33
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
A conviction pick on Aireontae Ersery at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 67 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 76th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 94 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 4, Pick 2 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jordan James
Jordan James in the 165th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylin Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylin Smith in the 181st pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at pick No. 194 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at No. 202 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 217 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
Value said wait; Shaun Dolac in slot 257 says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
