Larceny in slot 107 lands the Browns a B-, Sarratt and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Elijah Sarratt, the No. 43 name on the board, stolen at slot 107.

Every board in the league had Bisontis lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 6 they get a No. 1 receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at pick No. 39 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
A wild overpay on Chase Bisontis in Round 3, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Circle this one: Elijah Sarratt at No. 107 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Blake Miller
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Miller in the 139th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They reached into another round for Jacob Rodriguez, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Keon Sabb
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Keon Sabb in the 147th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 206th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A straight-up fair deal on De'Zhaun Stribling at pick No. 248, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
