Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Browns found their guy under center in Sanders: B-.

When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Browns did not.

Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him. Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 2nd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
No drama and no debate, Josh Conerly Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 33. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ashton Gillotte well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in pick No. 94 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.
Pick104 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at slot 104 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Que Robinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Que Robinson in the 179th pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 200 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Horsley at the 216th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Logan Parr
No edge and no loss on Logan Parr in pick 254; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
