Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Browns: C+. The Browns torched the value chart for Jamari Lyons, taking him 55 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
So much rides on Makai Lemon that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In pick No. 13 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick29
Rnd1
Chris Bell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Bell at No. 29, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at pick 61 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 70th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93
Rnd3
Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the 93rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144
Rnd5
Red Murdock
A wild overpay on Red Murdock in the 144th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at slot 147 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jamari Lyons
They talked themselves into Jamari Lyons at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
A big swing on Roman Hemby at pick No. 248, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
