Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A
ValueA NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in the 190th pick lands the Browns a A, Carter and all.

The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Barrett Carter fell into Round 6, Pick 15. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Ritzie reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The Browns paired the rookies with proven help, Laremy Tunsil leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They will replay Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in pick 67, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at No. 94. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 102 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 104th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Nice patience on Jake Majors, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 6. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in the 163rd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick177 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 190 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
Steal is underselling it; Jaeden Roberts at pick No. 198 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
A straight-up fair deal on O'Donnell Fortune at slot 214, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jahvaree Ritzie
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jahvaree Ritzie in pick 215, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick232 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson is a better player than the 232nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 James Burnip
You do not let a specialist like James Burnip reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
