The Browns turned the phones into found money: B. The Browns put a flag in the ground for J.J. Weaver, 127 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
That Leonard pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tetairoa McMillan
You do not let a wide receiver like Tetairoa McMillan reach pick 33 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the 52nd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Trey Amos graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
A big swing on Ashton Gillotte at slot 67, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in pick No. 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 104 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
By-the-book stuff, Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Riley Leonard
Somehow Riley Leonard was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 3, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192
Rnd6
Willie Lampkin
The board had Willie Lampkin higher than pick 192, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jay Higgins at the 200th pick, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 216 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255
Rnd7
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 255th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
Value said wait; Jasheen Davis in slot 257 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
