The Browns won the night they stopped Slaughter from sliding. Grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Slaughter tumbling to the Browns in pick No. 86 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cooper Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In pick 22 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
In the 24th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 39 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, D'Angelo Ponds in pick No. 70, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
They robbed the room for Zakee Wheatley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
A tidy little value on Kaytron Allen in No. 146, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
A straight-up fair deal on Beau Stephens at Round 5, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They went early on Jeff Caldwell in Round 6, Pick 25, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in the 248th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
