Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Browns won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Browns shredded theirs for Tommy Mellott. He came off 130 spots early, and the room will hear about it. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Schwesinger at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Adding Tyler Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mike Green
In No. 12 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than Round 2, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They read the board right and Omarion Hampton was the payoff at pick 44. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Will Howard
This one needs a full-page explanation: Will Howard in the 67th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They robbed the room for Carson Schwesinger here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at Round 4, Pick 2 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Value said wait; Oronde Gadsden II in No. 179 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jay Toia
Jay Toia in pick 192 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bilhal Kone
A wild overpay on Bilhal Kone in pick No. 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They let Jay Higgins come to them and pounced at the 216th pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
They talked themselves into Tommy Mellott at slot 255, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
