The Browns clearly saw something nobody else did in Barryn Sorrell, taking him 96 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Travis Hunter · CB · rank 1
In pick No. 2 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Jaxson Dart at the 33rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kyle Kennard · DE-EDGE · rank 72
Kyle Kennard at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 100
Cam Skattebo at No. 94 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 85
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 4, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
R5.26 · Pick 165 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 178
JJ Pegues at the 165th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.16 · Pick 194 · Dont'e Thornton Jr. · WR · rank 176
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 16, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.24 · Pick 202 · CJ West · DT · rank 212
CJ West at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.38 · Pick 216 · Barryn Sorrell · LB-EDGE · rank 312
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick No. 216, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.39 · Pick 217 · Jack Kiser · LB · rank 199
Jack Kiser at slot 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.20 · Pick 238 · Garrett Dellinger · OG · rank 281
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at No. 238, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Tyler Loop · PK · rank 308
They reached into another round for Tyler Loop, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
