Draft Grade — Browns
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureF
The Browns robbed the room for Fortune. Final grade: F.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Browns did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The Fortune steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

They are betting Phillips proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A straight-up fair deal on Abdul Carter at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 18th overall pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A conviction pick on Jihaad Campbell at pick No. 33 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick50 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
No edge and no loss on JT Tuimoloau in No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick 67 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They jumped the gun on Hollin Pierce, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They robbed the room for O'Donnell Fortune here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
