Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A passer of the future in Ward, and a A, for the Browns.

Call it larceny. Wyatt Milum sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Browns did not need to be asked twice. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

They have staked the next five years on Cam Ward, which is the only story that really matters here. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick 20 they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to pick No. 51, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou in slot 74 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 79 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 2 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at pick 111 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at the 114th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Grey Zabel
Taking Grey Zabel in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in pick No. 122 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in the 126th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
Steal is underselling it; Maxwell Hairston at the 140th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
They robbed the room for T.J. Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Demetrius Knight Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Demetrius Knight Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick166 Rnd5 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 166th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in No. 174, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaxson Dart
Circle this one: Jaxson Dart at pick 179 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick No. 188, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at the 192nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
You do not let an offensive lineman like Seth McLaughlin reach slot 200 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at pick 218 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick225 Rnd7 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in pick No. 225, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in Round 7, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in No. 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
