FutureB-
The board had answers; the Browns had Jefferson. Grade: F. The Browns clearly saw something nobody else did in KJ Jefferson, taking him 135 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They banked enough surplus on Grant to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The Browns clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
A reach for Landon Jackson in the 33rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than pick 38, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick39
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malaki Starks in No. 39. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They paid a round early for TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick50
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
They went early on Elic Ayomanor in pick No. 50, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Mason Taylor
The board had cheaper options than Mason Taylor at slot 62, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
A conviction pick on Barrett Carter at No. 67 that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick72
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They paid up for Deone Walker at slot 72 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They jumped the gun on Shemar Turner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andrew Mukuba. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104
Rnd4
Will Howard
Good price on Will Howard in the 104th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Fair-plus on Tez Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick 114 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A wild overpay on Oluwafemi Oladejo in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Burke went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at Round 4, Pick 30 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
They took Malachi Moore at par in pick No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
No drama and no debate, Pat Bryant went about where he belonged in slot 144. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the 148th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Cooper well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Joshua Gray
They reached into another round for Joshua Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
Addison West
Addison West at the 171st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 172, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 173 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 174 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at pick No. 177 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179
Rnd6
RJ Oben
This one needs a full-page explanation: RJ Oben in Round 6, Pick 3, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jabbar Muhammad
They reached a country mile for Jabbar Muhammad at the 192nd pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200
Rnd6
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at pick 200 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Shemar James
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar James. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick206
Rnd6
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in the 206th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in slot 211 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216
Rnd6
Cooper Mays
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Mays this early at Round 6, Pick 40. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at No. 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
Value said wait; Moliki Matavao in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick No. 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
