Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Restrepo should have been long gone. The Browns pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 66 name on the board, sitting there at slot 257 like a gift left on the doorstep.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 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 Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 2nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick33 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Steal is underselling it; Travis Hunter at Round 2, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at slot 67 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at No. 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in pick 103, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Circle this one: Wyatt Milum at pick No. 165 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
They will replay Josaiah Stewart at the 194th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in No. 202 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in pick 216, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick217 Rnd6 Elijah Arroyo
They robbed the room for Elijah Arroyo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the 257th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
