Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Fannin Jr.: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Harold Fannin Jr. slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at No. 94. Highway robbery.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 2 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Armand Membou
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Armand Membou at pick 33. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
A tidy little value on Jalen Royals in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tight end of that caliber at the 94th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in the 104th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick192 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant slipping to slot 192 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at No. 200 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
