Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Browns let Cooper fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Anez Cooper at No. 206 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 12 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu at Round 1, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
The board had Josiah Trotter higher than No. 70, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in slot 107 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A safety of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in the 146th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in the 149th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Anez Cooper
Somehow Anez Cooper was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Latrell McCutchin Sr. at Round 7, Pick 32 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
