The Browns put a flag in the ground for Jaeden Roberts, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Landing Sarratt that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
They paid up for D'Angelo Ponds at the 39th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Christen Miller in pick No. 70 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Elijah Sarratt in pick 107 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaeden Roberts well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No drama and no debate, Kaytron Allen went about where he belonged in the 146th pick. It fills a real need, too.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Boettcher this early at pick 149. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They jumped the gun on Jeremiah Wright, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick No. 218 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Joey Aguilar at the 248th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
