FutureA
The Browns let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Skattebo, the No. 114 name on the board, in slot 177. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.
Howard has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, with Mason Graham leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Mason Graham
They read the board right and Mason Graham was the payoff at Round 1, Pick 14. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A quiet steal in pick No. 33: Emeka Egbuka for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the 57th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in the 67th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Will Howard
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Will Howard. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in No. 163 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at pick 177 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Steal is underselling it; Cody Simon at pick No. 190 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A tidy little value on Jack Kiser in the 198th pick, a step better than break-even. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215
Rnd6
Addison West
You do not let an offensive lineman like Addison West reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They robbed the room for Jamon Dumas-Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
