Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Browns in the 216th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Crenshaw-Dickson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 2 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than the 33rd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in Round 3, Pick 3 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at slot 94 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 103 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cam Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Jackson in the 165th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in No. 181 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A big swing on Miles Frazier at pick No. 202, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Max Brosmer
Value said wait; Max Brosmer in No. 217 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Steal is underselling it; Luke Lachey at slot 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
