The Browns answered their biggest question with Nussmeier. Grade: A-. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Garrett Nussmeier is the Browns' quarterback, full stop. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Nussmeier reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 12th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Garrett Nussmeier
In pick No. 24 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A straight-up fair deal on Olaivavega Ioane at the 39th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70
Rnd3
Will Lee III
A tidy bit of business in pick 70, where Will Lee III graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
A big swing on Tim Keenan III at slot 112, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
They took Kyle Louis at par in Round 5, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick144
Rnd5
J'Mari Taylor
No edge and no loss on J'Mari Taylor in No. 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jaden Greathouse
They read the board right and Jaden Greathouse was the payoff at the 147th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
Circle this one: Sawyer Robertson at pick 204 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trey Holly
Nothing to complain about; Trey Holly went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
