FutureB-
The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Roman Hemby at slot 206 is 142 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Miller pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Steve Avila deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In No. 13 they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 28th pick they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 29 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70
Rnd3
Max Klare
Max Klare at the 70th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107
Rnd4
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 107 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
DJ McKinney
The board had DJ McKinney higher than the Round 5 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Logan Jones
Logan Jones at slot 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Blake Miller
Blake Miller in No. 147 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206
Rnd6
Roman Hemby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Hemby. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248
Rnd7
Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at Round 7, Pick 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
