D Dog DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

The Browns drew a line under the quarterback search with Ward: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Browns were there to profit. Jaxson Dart, the No. 58 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 257. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 2nd overall pick they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
A edge rusher of that caliber at the 33rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Circle this one: Quinshon Judkins at pick 94 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
The board fumbled Zy Alexander all the way to No. 103, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at slot 165 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at the 181st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick194
Rnd6
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 194th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202
Rnd6
Wyatt Milum
They robbed the room for Wyatt Milum here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217
Rnd6
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at No. 217 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 257 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
