Grand theft in pick 181: the Browns steal Judkins and grade out a A. The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Quinshon Judkins fell into pick No. 181. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.
Reaching for Batty left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Adding Andrew Thomas by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
In the end it comes back to Abdul Carter, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at the 12th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick33
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
They read the board right and Walter Nolen was the payoff at slot 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at Round 3, Pick 3 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Quinn Ewers well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 94th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103
Rnd4
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at No. 113. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165
Rnd5
Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at pick No. 165 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick181
Rnd6
Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to pick No. 181, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 194th overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in slot 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick211
Rnd6
Will Sheppard
A big swing on Will Sheppard at No. 211, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Luke Kandra
They will replay Luke Kandra at Round 6, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach the 217th pick and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
