FutureA
A passer of the future in Ward, and a A-, for the Browns. The Browns spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Lachey falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
They will need Thornton Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In No. 2 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Campbell
They did well to land Will Campbell in slot 14, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Value with a capital V on Nick Emmanwori in the 33rd pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick No. 35 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick50
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
They paid up for Isaiah Bond at Round 3, Pick 3 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick 99 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough is a better player than pick No. 154 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 156th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at the 229th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
They robbed the room for Luke Lachey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
