Grand theft in slot 220: the Browns steal Smith-Wade and grade out a D+. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Smith-Wade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.
They are betting Tagovailoa proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In No. 21 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at the 55th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 86th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 4, Pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ray Davis
They paid sticker price for Ray Davis in pick No. 111, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 122nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jalyx Hunt
Fair-plus on Jalyx Hunt, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A tidy little value on Jaheim Bell in pick No. 146, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205
Rnd6
De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 205 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 210 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick212
Rnd6
Taulia Tagovailoa
They liked Taulia Tagovailoa enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 212. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at the 220th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229
Rnd7
Marcus Harris
They paid up for Marcus Harris at No. 229 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
A reach for Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247
Rnd7
Blake Watson
Circle this one: Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 27 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
