The Browns did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. For all the boxes ticked, the Browns skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.
Getting Mathews Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cost of the Slaughter reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
By-the-book stuff, Carnell Tate at No. 13 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick28
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
A reach on Caleb Lomu in the 28th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick29
Rnd1
Jake Slaughter
In pick 29 they get a long-term starter on the line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick39
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 7. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 70th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Nicholas Singleton graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
Chase Bisontis
Nice patience on Chase Bisontis, who had no business lasting to pick No. 139. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144
Rnd5
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in slot 144 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry slipping to pick No. 147 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. is a better player than the 206th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
No edge and no loss on Nolan Rucci in Round 7, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
