SwillDog DRAFTING FOR THEBrowns
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Browns
Overall

FutureB-
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a B to match. The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 118 name on the board, sitting there at pick 257 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Reaching for Adams left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
The board had Walter Nolen higher than the 33rd overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at the 67th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 94 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Value with a capital V on Dylan Fairchild in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at pick No. 165 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick194
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 194th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202
Rnd6
Connor Colby
Steal is underselling it; Connor Colby at No. 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216
Rnd6
Hayden Conner
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 38 with a little surplus value in Hayden Conner. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at Round 6, Pick 39 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ryan Fitzgerald
Circle this one: Ryan Fitzgerald at the 257th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
