Draft Grade — Browns
Overall A-
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Browns this weekend: A-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Browns spent pick 257 on Reuben Fatheree II, a name the board had a full 124 spots lower. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 12 they get a problem off the edge, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in slot 44. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at the 67th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Will Howard
They left a pile of value on the table to take Will Howard this early at pick No. 76. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Oronde Gadsden II
A real head-scratcher, Oronde Gadsden II in the 94th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Milroe at No. 103, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon is a better player than the 150th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
A big swing on Jaylen Reed at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bhayshul Tuten at No. 174 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A wild overpay on Cam Jackson in the 181st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Xavier Scott
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 194 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A conviction pick on Trey Zuhn III at Round 6, Pick 24 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Teddye Buchanan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 216, miles early. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in pick 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II in No. 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
