The Browns found their guy under center in Ward: B-. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Browns do not have to explain a thing at No. 216.
Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
They took Cameron Williams at par in No. 38, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the 67th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Taking Deone Walker in pick No. 100 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier safety value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kyren Lacy
You do not let a wide receiver like Kyren Lacy reach slot 165 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick181
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 181st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick194
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick 194 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Antwane Wells Jr. at No. 202 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 216th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd6
Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at pick No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick257
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick 257 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
