Draft Grade — Browns
Overall
B-

NeedB

FutureB-
The Browns checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Browns bet big and early on Jalen Travis, 116 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Getting Skattebo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered.
Adding Aidan O'Connell by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 4 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at slot 67 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 68 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 88th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
They jumped the gun on Jaylin Noel, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick106
Rnd4
Will Howard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Howard. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They talked themselves into Darius Alexander at the 110th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in slot 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152
Rnd5
Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at the 152nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cobee Bryant this early at Round 5, Pick 26. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at No. 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
