Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. O'Donnell Fortune tumbling to the Browns in slot 179 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Milroe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at the 2nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 67th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 94 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A straight-up fair deal on Lathan Ransom at Round 4, Pick 2, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 179th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They took Oronde Gadsden II at par in pick No. 192, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 200 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Circle this one: Jarquez Hunter at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. in No. 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
