FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Browns a A-. The Browns clearly saw something nobody else did in Keylan Rutledge, taking him 43 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Rhamondre Stevenson gives the group a proven body among the projects.
In the end it comes back to Denzel Boston, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick31
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In the 31st pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
No drama and no debate, Caleb Banks went about where he belonged in pick No. 39. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Keylan Rutledge
Value said wait; Keylan Rutledge in slot 63 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and pick 70 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
Nice patience on Daylen Everette, who had no business lasting to the 95th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in slot 107 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Eli Raridon
Value with a capital V on Eli Raridon in the 141st overall pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaytron Allen in Round 5, Pick 6. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
The board had CJ Daniels higher than the 149th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in pick No. 206 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248
Rnd7
Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Fa'alili Fa'amoe. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
