Grand theft in the Round 5 slot: the Browns steal Neal and grade out a A. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Devin Neal, the No. 81 name on the board, stolen at No. 165.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Reaching for Frazier left real value on the table behind him.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Robert Hunt gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In the end it comes back to Mason Graham, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Nothing to complain about; Mason Graham went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick33
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They paid sticker price for Omarion Hampton in Round 2, Pick 1, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in No. 57 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick67
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 67. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick74
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
A real head-scratcher, Quinn Ewers in slot 74 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They robbed the room for Jayden Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd5
Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at the 165th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Billy Bowman Jr.
You do not let a safety like Billy Bowman Jr. reach pick 181 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
They barely believed it either: Dorian Strong still on the board at the 194th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 202 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick No. 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 257th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
