Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Lemon: A. The real work happened on the phones. The Browns fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.
That Lemon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Zvada reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In the end it comes back to Caleb Downs, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
Fair-plus on Caleb Downs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick10
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
A clean, defensible pick in pick 10 with a little surplus value in Keldric Faulk. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter is a better player than the 39th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57
Rnd2
Makai Lemon
Somehow Makai Lemon was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Kevin Concepcion
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Kevin Concepcion in the 66th pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
They did well to land Darrell Jackson Jr. in slot 77, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A slide stopped in No. 102, with D'Angelo Ponds worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141
Rnd5
John Mateer
They took John Mateer at par in the 141st pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215
Rnd6
Dominic Zvada
A premium they did not need to pay, Dominic Zvada a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
A reach on Tony Grimes in pick No. 224; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
