Draft Grade — Browns
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Skattebo: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Skattebo tumbling to the Browns in No. 198 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Every board in the league had Mesidor lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 2 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A wild overpay on Jaxson Dart in Round 2, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Steal is underselling it; Jack Bech at slot 94 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Noel at the 102nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at pick 163. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick190 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in slot 198, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool in No. 214 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 215 is the definition of value, full stop. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick256 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in pick 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
