Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 210: the Browns steal Williams and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Antonio Williams sat on the board until slot 210, and the Browns did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. A real need, handled.
Pick22 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick 22 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza in slot 42 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jordyn Tyson
Somehow Jordyn Tyson was still sitting there in the 73rd pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board fumbled Ar'maj Reed-Adams all the way to pick No. 108, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 LT Overton
Taking LT Overton in the 146th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 David Bailey
They will replay David Bailey at No. 149 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jermod McCoy
You do not let a cornerback like Jermod McCoy reach Round 6, Pick 3 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick210 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in the 210th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at Round 7, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
