Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Browns let Fitzgerald fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

Call it larceny. Ryan Fitzgerald sat on the board until slot 256, and the Browns did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Davis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

It is not that Campbell is a bad player; it is that the Browns had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 20th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 24 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to No. 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Jihaad Campbell, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick 51 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
You do not let a safety like Xavier Watts reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 21, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A reasonable price with a little left over, Denzel Burke in the 94th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in pick No. 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 177th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jasheen Davis in pick 189, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Stone Handy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Stone Handy this early at the 190th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Reed in slot 198. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They barely believed it either: Luke Lachey still on the board at No. 214. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 40 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in slot 256, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
