Thirty-one other rooms let Lee Hunter slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at the Round 4 slot. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.12
· Pick 12
· Carnell Tate
· WR
· rank 12
In pick No. 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.24
· Pick 24
· Olaivavega Ioane
· OG
· rank 22
In pick 24 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
R2.7
· Pick 39
· Chris Brazzell II
· WR
· rank 29
Value with a capital V on Chris Brazzell II in the 39th pick, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.6
· Pick 70
· Max Iheanachor
· OT
· rank 46
They barely believed it either: Max Iheanachor still on the board at Round 3, Pick 6. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.7
· Pick 107
· Jake Slaughter
· C
· rank 55
Jake Slaughter at No. 107 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.12
· Pick 112
· Lee Hunter
· DT
· rank 48
Lee Hunter in the 112th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.6
· Pick 146
· Kaytron Allen
· RB
· rank 146
They took Kaytron Allen at par in slot 146, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R5.9
· Pick 149
· Domani Jackson
· CB
· rank 174
A real head-scratcher, Domani Jackson in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.12
· Pick 152
· Bryce Boettcher
· LB
· rank 170
Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 152 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.25
· Pick 206
· Aamil Wagner
· OT
· rank 171
Circle this one: Aamil Wagner at the 206th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.32
· Pick 248
· Josh Cuevas
· TE
· rank 237
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Josh Cuevas worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
