FutureA
The Browns robbed the room for Allar. Final grade: D. Nobody had Damien Martinez this high, and it is not close. The Browns reached 43 spots to get him at pick No. 182. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Allar at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the 36th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They paid sticker price for Deone Walker in the 40th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick66
Rnd3
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 67th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A tidy little value on Ozzy Trapilo in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Drew Allar in pick No. 110, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
They reached into another round for Tez Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
Somehow Trey Zuhn III was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 33, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at slot 182 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
They read the board right and Quincy Riley was the payoff at pick 185. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
Logan Parr
Logan Parr in No. 199 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jimmy Horn Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 234. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
Nice patience on Will Sheppard, who had no business lasting to slot 252. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Alfred Collins
A conviction pick on Alfred Collins at the 253rd pick that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
