Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Browns, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

However the rest shakes out, Tuten at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Ritzie left real value on the table behind him.

In the end it comes back to Josh Simmons, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
The board fumbled Matthew Golden all the way to pick No. 33, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at the 67th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Will Howard
They took Will Howard at par in No. 94, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kevin Winston Jr. in the 114th overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Circle this one: Denzel Burke at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They barely believed it either: Bhayshul Tuten still on the board at the 179th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 CJ West
A clean, defensible pick in the 192nd pick with a little surplus value in CJ West. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 6, Pick 24 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Hancock at No. 216, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jahvaree Ritzie this early at slot 255. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
