The Browns robbed the room for Hancock. Final grade: A-. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Jordan Hancock slide 100 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
A slide stopped in the 21st overall pick, with Kelvin Banks Jr. worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 64 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick81
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at pick No. 81 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96
Rnd3
Cam Ward
Taking Cam Ward in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd4
Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach Round 4, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113
Rnd4
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 113 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at pick 161 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
