FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Alexander: B-. You could see the war room lean forward. Darius Alexander at Round 5, Pick 26 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Taylor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to the 33rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 57 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Bond in the 67th overall pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They went early on Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 10, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
A tidy little value on Denzel Burke in pick 94, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
No edge and no loss on Lathan Ransom in pick No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in No. 165, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick181
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
They will replay Raheim Sanders at pick 181 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cobee Bryant
The board had Cobee Bryant higher than slot 194, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 202nd pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 6, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A tidy bit of business in the 217th overall pick, where Jack Kiser graded well above the range. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Nice patience on Jake Briningstool, who had no business lasting to pick No. 257. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
