You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Browns did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Slaughter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

If Freeling pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
