FutureD
The Browns jumped the board for Walker and paid for it: F. Nobody else had Zykeivous Walker anywhere near pick No. 255. The Browns did, by 243 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
The board had cheaper options than Jaxson Dart at the 33rd pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Fair-plus on Emeka Egbuka, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jihaad Campbell. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
They took T.J. Sanders at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau at slot 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in the 50th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick52
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 52nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick59
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in No. 59 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They paid sticker price for Mason Taylor in the 76th overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
No drama and no debate, Jalen Milroe went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 27. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than pick No. 94, and the safety fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Value said wait; Jake Majors in slot 104 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at pick 139 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
No edge and no loss on Mitchell Evans in pick No. 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Brown at the 146th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in No. 148 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in pick 149 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick172
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 172 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in the 174th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jason Marshall Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jason Marshall Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 7 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Addison West
A real head-scratcher, Addison West in slot 192 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They took Joshua Gray at par in No. 200, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ja'Corey Brooks. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Xzavier Henderson
Xzavier Henderson at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233
Rnd7
Chico Bennett Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chico Bennett Jr. in pick No. 233, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234
Rnd7
Marcel Brooks
Marcel Brooks at the 234th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Zykeivous Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zykeivous Walker this early at pick 255. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
