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

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Sanker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 12th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
They went early on Aireontae Ersery in the 33rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick50 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Value said wait; Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 18 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at No. 67 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle McCord this early at pick No. 102. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Paul Jr. at pick 103 is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 119 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
They reached a country mile for Jonas Sanker at the 165th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at slot 173 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Ricky White III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricky White III in No. 181, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They talked themselves into Cam Jackson at pick 194, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick216 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They robbed the room for Damien Martinez here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like KeAndre Lambert-Smith reach the 217th pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 39, where Jake Briningstool graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
