FutureA+
Hurst should have been long gone. The Browns pounced, and earned a B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ted Hurst, the No. 175 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 6th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick63
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 63 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eli Stowers at slot 70. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chandler Rivers in pick 107. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139
Rnd5
Isaiah World
No edge and no loss on Isaiah World in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick144
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at Round 5, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Steal is underselling it; Bud Clark at pick No. 147 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
They barely believed it either: Ted Hurst still on the board at the 204th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207
Rnd6
Taylen Green
You do not let a quarterback like Taylen Green reach pick 207 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kaelon Black
Fair-plus on Kaelon Black, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
Somehow Antonio Kite was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
