Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Browns steal Torrence and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ro Torrence, pick No. 206, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 54 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cade Stover
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cade Stover in Round 3, Pick 22. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They paid sticker price for Dylan Laube in No. 156, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence in pick No. 206 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tylan Grable at pick 243. It fills a real need, too.
