Dogside18 DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Browns

The Browns let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Jaylin Simpson at No. 155 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick54
Rnd2
Jermaine Burton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermaine Burton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
A tidy bit of business in pick 85, where Ja'Lynn Polk graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at slot 135 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 155th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Curtis Jacobs at the 205th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick208
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 7, Pick 8 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
