FutureB-
A passer of the future in Ward, and a D-, for the Browns. The Browns put a flag in the ground for Alfred Collins, 82 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
They banked enough surplus on Green to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 5th pick they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In the 21st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick No. 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick52
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 52 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jay Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jay Higgins at No. 67 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83
Rnd3
Tacario Davis
They went early on Tacario Davis in slot 83, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 110th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick182
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 182 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alfred Collins well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Haynes King
Haynes King at pick 199 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough slid further than he should have, and No. 206 is lovely value for the safety. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
Savion Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Savion Williams. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253
Rnd7
Taylen Green
They barely believed it either: Taylen Green still on the board at the 253rd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
