The Browns did not so much draft Wesley Bissainthe as overpay for him, 43 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Tyler Smith gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.20 · Pick 20 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 19
In the 24th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Denzel Boston · WR · rank 31
They read the board right and Denzel Boston was the payoff at slot 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 58
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 77th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 96
Bryce Lance at pick No. 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 83
Circle this one: Daylen Everette at No. 107 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 86
Skyler Bell at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 90
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Zakee Wheatley in pick No. 116, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.6 · Pick 146 · Eli Raridon · TE · rank 137
Eli Raridon in pick 146 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Hezekiah Masses · CB · rank 139
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Hezekiah Masses at the 149th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.14 · Pick 195 · Aamil Wagner · OT · rank 177
They will replay Aamil Wagner at Round 6, Pick 14 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.25 · Pick 206 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 201
A clean, defensible pick in No. 206 with a little surplus value in Cole Payton. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Wesley Bissainthe · LB · rank 291
Wesley Bissainthe at slot 248 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
