The rest of the league had time to spare on Ahmari Harvey; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 149 spots ahead at slot 141. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 19
In pick 9 they get a security blanket over the middle, reach and all.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
They went early on Jake Slaughter in the 39th pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 75
No edge and no loss on Elijah Sarratt in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 112
Ted Hurst in pick No. 74 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · Bud Clark · S · rank 99
They paid a round early for Bud Clark in the 89th overall pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 122
Bryce Lance in No. 107 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 153
A wild overpay on Drew Allar in slot 109, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · Ahmari Harvey · CB · rank 290
Ahmari Harvey at pick 141 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.6 · Pick 146 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 184
Jeff Caldwell at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Eric McAlister · WR · rank 190
A big swing on Eric McAlister at pick No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.25 · Pick 206 · John Michael Gyllenborg · TE · rank 240
A real head-scratcher, John Michael Gyllenborg in the 206th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 250
Nolan Rucci in the 248th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
