The Browns worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Some picks age like wine; Micah Morris at the 248th pick will need to, sitting 59 spots clear of his grade.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McDonald.
Bottom line, with Carnell Tate leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick No. 20 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 27th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick52
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 52nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
A reasonable price with a little left over, Daylen Everette in Round 3, Pick 6. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
A wild overpay on Zachariah Branch in No. 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kaytron Allen at the 107th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaishawn Barham. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135
Rnd4
Drew Allar
A reach on Drew Allar in slot 135; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd5
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145
Rnd5
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in pick No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jude Bowry
Steal is underselling it; Jude Bowry at No. 153 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant in pick 159 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210
Rnd6
Bud Clark
They barely believed it either: Bud Clark still on the board at the 210th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris in pick No. 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
