Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Ransaw: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Caleb Ransaw got past him. The Browns do not have to explain a thing at the 255th pick.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Shedeur Sanders
They robbed the room for Shedeur Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
They read the board right and Marcus Mbow was the payoff at No. 67. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Steal is underselling it; Elic Ayomanor at Round 3, Pick 30 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 104 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin slid further than he should have, and slot 179 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192
Rnd6
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at pick 192 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 205th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick216
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 216. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
By-the-book stuff, Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick255
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Circle this one: Caleb Ransaw at pick 255 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
