Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Browns let Jones Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Emery Jones Jr., pick 181, roughly 53 picks past where he belonged.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will need Alexander to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Bottom line, with Will Campbell leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 6 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams slipping to the 33rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68 Rnd3 Darien Porter
They jumped the gun on Darien Porter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Nice patience on Elijah Arroyo, who had no business lasting to No. 94. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Noel. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
This one needs a full-page explanation: Darius Alexander in slot 107, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick181 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Emery Jones Jr. in slot 181, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They let Ollie Gordon II come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in pick 194 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
