You build a draft on nights like this. Eli Stowers had no business being available in Round 4, Pick 12, and the Browns did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Freeling proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Monroe Freeling · OT · rank 23
In pick No. 12 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Chris Brazzell II · WR · rank 29
No drama and no debate, Chris Brazzell II went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Kayden McDonald · DT · rank 18
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kayden McDonald reach Round 2, Pick 7 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Jacob Rodriguez · LB · rank 51
Jacob Rodriguez at the 70th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 58
They will replay Jake Slaughter at slot 107 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 56
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in pick 112, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The roster fit checks out.
R5.6 · Pick 146 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 144
No edge and no loss on CJ Daniels in No. 146; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
They paid up for Drew Allar at the 149th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.25 · Pick 206 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 150
Charles Demmings in the 206th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 238
Robert Spears-Jennings slid further than he should have, and No. 248 is lovely value for the safety. It fills a real need, too.
