Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Browns a B, Milton III and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Joe Milton III had no business being available in the 228th pick, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Murphy left real value on the table behind him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in No. 54, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They went early on Bucky Irving in pick 85, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Javon Foster graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at Round 5, Pick 19 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A reach for Myles Murphy in the 205th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Myles Harden
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick228 Rnd7 Joe Milton III
A quarterback of that caliber at pick No. 228 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
