FutureA+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Browns started one anyway for Cashius Howell, 57 picks ahead of schedule. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Ransom at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Ollie Gordon II
In the 28th pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A reach for Jalon Walker in slot 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 40th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50
Rnd2
Bear Alexander
They went early on Bear Alexander in No. 50, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60
Rnd2
Carson Beck
Somehow Carson Beck was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at Round 3, Pick 5 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 82nd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86
Rnd3
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 101st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell at Round 4, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 138 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140
Rnd5
Nick Martin
Nick Martin at No. 140 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jack Bech
Jack Bech in pick No. 152 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156
Rnd5
Ja'Quinden Jackson
They robbed the room for Ja'Quinden Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168
Rnd5
Antonio Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 168th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Mansoor Delane
They will replay Mansoor Delane at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185
Rnd6
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in pick 185 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick No. 188 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jonah Coleman
The board fumbled Jonah Coleman all the way to slot 200, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
Steal is underselling it; Quincy Riley at the 202nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203
Rnd6
Phillip Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Phillip Webb in No. 203, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Tim Smith
A big swing on Tim Smith at Round 6, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211
Rnd6
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in Round 6, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Amari Kight
They barely believed it either: Amari Kight still on the board at the 224th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230
Rnd7
J.C. Davis
Circle this one: J.C. Davis at pick No. 230 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232
Rnd7
Henry Parrish Jr.
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Henry Parrish Jr. in slot 232, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237
Rnd7
De'Corian Clark
Taking De'Corian Clark in No. 237 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
You do not let a quarterback like Kurtis Rourke reach pick 241 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242
Rnd7
DJ Uiagalelei
Somehow DJ Uiagalelei was still sitting there in the 242nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245
Rnd7
Aydan White
Aydan White at pick No. 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246
Rnd7
Marcus Mbow
Taking Marcus Mbow in the 246th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kamari Wilson
Kamari Wilson in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
You do not let an offensive lineman like Tristan Leigh reach pick 252 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in the 253rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Akili Arnold
They let Akili Arnold come to them and pounced at No. 256. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
