Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Larceny in pick 193 lands the Browns a A, Alexander and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Darius Alexander, No. 193, roughly 67 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Hemingway to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Browns paired the rookies with proven help, Ikem Ekwonu leading the way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 22 they get a true top target at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
They took Jack Sawyer at par in slot 33, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 39th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 54 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They reached into another round for Jalen Milroe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Devin Neal
You do not let a running back like Devin Neal reach the 121st pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mello Dotson in Round 6, Pick 3, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 193rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in No. 194 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick199 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
They liked Hayden Conner enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 199. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
The board fumbled Tyler Shough all the way to slot 202, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
A wild overpay on Ty Hamilton in pick 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Value said wait; Tonka Hemingway in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
