Dawglb216 DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureB-
The Browns bet the future on Ward. The board says B. The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Mason Taylor, the No. 101 name on the board, in pick 190.
Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Davis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Cam Ward
They paid sticker price for Cam Ward in the 2nd overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick33
Rnd2
Mike Green
They took Mike Green at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jack Bech
They reached into another round for Jack Bech, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the 94th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 1 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at slot 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jaeden Roberts
The board had Jaeden Roberts higher than No. 177, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190
Rnd6
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 190 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214
Rnd6
J.C. Davis
A real head-scratcher, J.C. Davis in the 214th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at slot 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick256
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to pick No. 256, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
