Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns let Bassa fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jeffrey Bassa at slot 179 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Tetairoa McMillan, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than Round 2, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Omarion Hampton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Good price on Jayden Higgins in the 74th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
They paid a round early for Will Howard in pick 94, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 104th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach the 179th pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Taking Seth McLaughlin in the 192nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Nice patience on Clay Webb, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 24. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
Circle this one: O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 204 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
A reach on Brant Kuithe in No. 255; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
