Good, not great, for the Browns: B-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Browns spent the Round 5 slot on Pat Coogan, a name most had 47 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Trotter.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Monroe Freeling
In pick No. 24 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick39
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
A quiet steal in pick 70: Josiah Trotter for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalon Kilgore. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
The board had cheaper options than Tanner Koziol at No. 139, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at No. 144 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Pat Coogan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Pat Coogan well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at pick 248 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
