The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: B-.

The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Jay Higgins, the No. 122 name on the board, sitting there at the 191st overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They are betting Brooks proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 3 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Value with a capital V on Kenneth Grant in No. 34, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 65 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick93 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 93rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick105 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at Round 4, Pick 4 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ja'Corey Brooks
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 166, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Value said wait; DJ Campbell in the 177th overall pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kaden Prather
They talked themselves into Kaden Prather at Round 6, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at slot 214 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 215 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
