FutureA+
The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. The tape said wait; the Browns did not. Chip Trayanum went at No. 200, a good 254 picks before the board was ready. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
Landing Broughton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Adding Tyler Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Bottom line, with Shemar Stewart leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
No edge and no loss on Shemar Stewart in slot 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick33
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 33 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at the Round 2 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Value said wait; Darius Alexander in the 67th overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They reached into another round for Dylan Fairchild, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at No. 103 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in pick 104 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick120
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Billy Bowman Jr. at the 120th pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid a round early for Oronde Gadsden II in the 179th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jalin Conyers
Jalin Conyers in Round 6, Pick 16 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200
Rnd6
Chip Trayanum
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chip Trayanum. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd6
Vernon Broughton
Steal is underselling it; Vernon Broughton at No. 216 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
