FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Browns: B-. There is reaching, and then there is Roman Hemby at the 204th pick. The Browns jumped the board by 64 and dared it to prove them wrong.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Reese. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 24th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
A tidy little value on Olaivavega Ioane in slot 43, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
They left a pile of value on the table to take Monroe Freeling this early at pick No. 75. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick107
Rnd4
Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 107th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
A reach on Davison Igbinosun in the 139th pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick144
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in pick No. 144 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147
Rnd5
Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204
Rnd6
Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in No. 204, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at slot 248 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
