The Browns won the night they stopped Orange from sliding. Grade: B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Domonique Orange, the No. 73 name on the board, stolen at No. 107. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. If Rucci pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Chris Brazzell II
They read the board right and Chris Brazzell II was the payoff at the 39th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Denzel Boston
They robbed the room for Denzel Boston here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Keith Abney II in the 70th pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick No. 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107
Rnd4
Domonique Orange
Somehow Domonique Orange was still sitting there in slot 107, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jakobe Thomas
They did well to land Jakobe Thomas in pick 146, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon is a better player than No. 149 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204
Rnd6
Bryce Boettcher
Taking Bryce Boettcher in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick206
Rnd6
Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper in the 206th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248
Rnd7
TJ Hall
TJ Hall slipping to pick No. 248 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
