Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Browns robbed the room for Ratledge. Final grade: B+.

Somebody in the 81st pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Browns sat still while Tate Ratledge, the No. 58 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 31st overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe slid further than he should have, and the 49th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in Round 2, Pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Fair-plus on Josh Conerly Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 81 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at pick 89 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver slipping to No. 152 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick No. 192 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
