Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on R.J. Oben; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 138 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 40.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Skattebo. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 2 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nick Emmanwori at pick 33. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Savion Williams this early at pick No. 67. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Taking Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick102 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chase Lundt. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 163rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A big swing on Clay Webb at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at No. 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 198 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
Somehow Jonas Sanker was still sitting there in the 214th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 R.J. Oben
Value said wait; R.J. Oben in the 215th overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at Round 7, Pick 40 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
