Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Browns finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Browns took Aaron Lewis at the Round 7 slot, roughly 119 spots before his name belonged.

The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In the 2nd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Warren at No. 35, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in slot 67 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 94 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101 Rnd3 Ty Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Ty Robinson in pick 101 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
They robbed the room for Jay Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick177 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 177 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brennan Presley
Brennan Presley at pick No. 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 198 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick214 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
No edge and no loss on Hunter Wohler in No. 214; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
A wild overpay on Trey Wedig in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They paid up for Luke Lachey at the 239th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis at the 256th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
