The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Browns clearly saw something nobody else did in Barryn Sorrell, taking him 98 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Mafah at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Browns clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, with Landon Jackson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Landon Jackson · DL-EDGE · rank 27
In the 25th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 39
Jaxson Dart at the 33rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jonah Savaiinaea · OT · rank 47
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in pick No. 44, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 67 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Darius Alexander · DT · rank 126
Darius Alexander at slot 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 96
Jaylin Noel in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.26 · Pick 165 · O'Donnell Fortune · CB · rank 121
They robbed the room for O'Donnell Fortune here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.3 · Pick 181 · Joshua Gray · OG · rank 192
Joshua Gray at the 181st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.16 · Pick 194 · Jamon Dumas-Johnson · LB · rank 215
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamon Dumas-Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.24 · Pick 202 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 176
JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
R6.38 · Pick 216 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 314
Value said wait; Barryn Sorrell in slot 216 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.39 · Pick 217 · Phil Mafah · RB · rank 167
The board fumbled Phil Mafah all the way to No. 217, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Quinn Carroll · OT · rank 274
A reach on Quinn Carroll in pick 257; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
