The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Browns watched Sam Hecht slide 25 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Iheanachor left real value on the table behind him. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.6 · Pick 6 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carnell Tate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Max Iheanachor · OT · rank 46
In the 29th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Emmanuel Pregnon · OG · rank 39
Emmanuel Pregnon slipping to the 47th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 76
They took Elijah Sarratt at par in pick 70, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 85
Ted Hurst in slot 74 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 114
Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 107 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Sam Hecht · C · rank 88
Somehow Sam Hecht was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.6 · Pick 146 · Jakobe Thomas · S · rank 140
Jakobe Thomas at Round 5, Pick 6 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.9 · Pick 149 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 148
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Demmings at the 149th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.25 · Pick 206 · David Gusta · DT · rank 202
Good price on David Gusta in pick 206, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
R7.32 · Pick 248 · Alan Herron · OT · rank 249
Alan Herron in pick No. 248 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
