FutureA+
The Browns got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. Somebody took the Browns to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Lomu at pick No. 22, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick24
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
Fair-plus on Chris Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 70 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
A premium they did not need to pay, Ja'Kobi Lane a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
A slide stopped in slot 141, with Harold Perkins Jr. worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick146
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Stephens. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in pick 149 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They paid a round early for Domani Jackson in Round 5, Pick 19, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They paid up for Jeff Caldwell at the 206th pick when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
