Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Browns: B-.

The war room fell hard for Aaron Lewis, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 40: 134 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Skattebo pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 2nd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A conviction pick on Tyler Warren at pick No. 33 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to pick 67, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 102nd pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 6, Pick 2 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at the 190th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
They reached a country mile for Anthony Belton at No. 198, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
Fair-plus on Jaishawn Barham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at pick No. 215. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick256 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis at the 256th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
