Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA
The Browns found their guy under center in Sanders: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Browns reached some 172 spots for Akheem Mesidor, and value like that does not grow back. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Getting Fitzgerald where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 3 they get their guy under center for the next decade. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kyle Kennard
They reached into another round for Kyle Kennard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 65 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at Round 3, Pick 3. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Schwesinger in the 94th overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ja'Corey Brooks
They reached a country mile for Ja'Corey Brooks at slot 165, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 181st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
A big swing on Miles Frazier at the 194th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in No. 202, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach Round 6, Pick 38 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in pick No. 257 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
