Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 39: the Browns steal Fitzgerald and grade out a B.

When a board-topper like Ryan Fitzgerald slides to No. 257, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not.

The McCord pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyle McCord well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 94th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
They will replay Elijah Arroyo at No. 103 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick181 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in the 181st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 194. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at Round 6, Pick 24 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They barely believed it either: Jeffrey Bassa still on the board at the 216th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at pick 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
