Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B for the Browns.

Thirty-one other rooms let Will Howard slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at pick 192. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
By-the-book stuff, Shedeur Sanders at slot 12 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in the 33rd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at No. 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor slid further than he should have, and the 67th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 30. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 104th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to slot 117, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at pick 179 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Will Howard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Will Howard in pick No. 192, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King in slot 200 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick216 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at Round 6, Pick 40 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 254 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
