Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 8: the Browns steal Kilgore and grade out a B. The Browns spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jalon Kilgore, the No. 118 name on the board, in the 148th pick.
The Zuhn III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
A clean, defensible pick in the 6th overall pick with a little surplus value in Caleb Downs. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick20
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In the 20th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick68
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
They took A'Mauri Washington at par in Round 3, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in pick No. 103 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
By-the-book stuff, Jadarian Price at pick 135 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jaishawn Barham
Steal is underselling it; Jaishawn Barham at No. 145 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146
Rnd5
Sammy Omosigho
No drama and no debate, Sammy Omosigho went about where he belonged in No. 146. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jalon Kilgore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jalon Kilgore in the 148th overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 204th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241
Rnd7
Barion Brown
No edge and no loss on Barion Brown in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
