Sanders should have been long gone. The Browns pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Browns were there to profit. T.J. Sanders, the No. 44 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 216.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Armand Membou · OT · rank 22
In pick No. 23 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Cam Ward · QB · rank 8
Cam Ward at the 34th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Jahdae Barron · CB · rank 13
Jahdae Barron in Round 2, Pick 22 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kenneth Grant · DT · rank 21
They will replay Kenneth Grant at No. 67 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Grey Zabel · OT · rank 34
Grey Zabel in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.30 · Pick 94 · Wyatt Milum · OT · rank 36
Wyatt Milum at pick 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R4.2 · Pick 103 · Jihaad Campbell · LB · rank 41
Taking Jihaad Campbell in slot 103 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.3 · Pick 104 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 50
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to slot 104, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.26 · Pick 165 · Trey Amos · CB · rank 51
Steal is underselling it; Trey Amos at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.3 · Pick 181 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 66
A running back of that caliber at No. 181 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.16 · Pick 194 · Logan Brown · OT · rank 144
Circle this one: Logan Brown at pick 194 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.24 · Pick 202 · Malachi Moore · S · rank 104
Malachi Moore at the 202nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.38 · Pick 216 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 44
T.J. Sanders in pick No. 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.39 · Pick 217 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 63
Somehow Xavier Restrepo was still sitting there in the 217th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 180
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at Round 7, Pick 39. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
