Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for McCord: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle McCord, the No. 125 name on the board, stolen at slot 217.

If Dolac pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 33rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 103rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at pick No. 165, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A big swing on Cam Jackson at slot 181, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A clean, defensible pick in pick 194 with a little surplus value in Jaylen Reed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the 202nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in pick 216 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
They barely believed it either: Kyle McCord still on the board at pick No. 217. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
They talked themselves into Shaun Dolac at the 257th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
