FutureA
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a A- to match. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Browns spent their marquee pick on LaNorris Sellers, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
If Shelby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Getting Moss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
LaNorris Sellers
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick22
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In No. 22 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 25th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 38, where Kenyon Sadiq graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 51st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick53
Rnd2
Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They took Quincy Rhodes Jr. at par in Round 2, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Austin Barber
Austin Barber in slot 59 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick61
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in pick 61 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62
Rnd2
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at slot 62 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69
Rnd3
Brian Parker II
They reached into another round for Brian Parker II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Drew Shelton
A straight-up fair deal on Drew Shelton at Round 3, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick104
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Harold Perkins Jr. at the 104th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Value said wait; Logan Jones in No. 108 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
Good price on Chris Johnson in pick No. 123, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the 144th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
They paid sticker price for DeMonte Capehart in No. 148, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
They reached a country mile for Braylan Shelby at slot 167, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190
Rnd6
Roderick Kearney
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roderick Kearney in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at Round 6, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
They will replay Le'Veon Moss at the 211th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brett Norfleet. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
