Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Every board in the league had Milroe lower, and that gap is the story.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 8 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A slide stopped in slot 33, with Kenneth Grant worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cameron Williams
They liked Cameron Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in the 57th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Fair-plus on Tre Harris, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 3, Pick 10 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 94th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick104 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A premium they did not need to pay, Denzel Burke a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A straight-up fair deal on Connor Colby at the 179th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Kyle Williams reach Round 6, Pick 16 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 200 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
They took Howard Cross III at par in the 216th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
No drama and no debate, Cody Lindenberg went about where he belonged in pick 255. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
