Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Browns.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Browns did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Fannin Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Skattebo reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 2 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They liked Jaxson Dart enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 33. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 3, with Harold Fannin Jr. worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 94th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They paid up for Anthony Belton at the 104th pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
