FutureA
The Browns won the night they stopped Hecht from sliding. Grade: B-. The Browns did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Sam Hecht fell into slot 107.
The cost of the Tiernan reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In the 12th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In slot 24 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at No. 39 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Fields at the 70th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at Round 4, Pick 7 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139
Rnd5
Billy Schrauth
A reasonable price with a little left over, Billy Schrauth in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at pick No. 144 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick 147 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick204
Rnd6
Dane Key
Dane Key at the 204th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in Round 7, Pick 5 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
No edge and no loss on Brett Norfleet in pick No. 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
