Grand theft in pick 217: the Browns steal Gabriel and grade out a A-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Dillon Gabriel tumbling to the Browns in No. 217 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Spending an early pick on linebacker with cornerback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
The board had Emeka Egbuka higher than the 33rd overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A clean, defensible pick in No. 45 with a little surplus value in Jihaad Campbell. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Donovan Jackson at pick 51, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 2, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 68th pick on Barrett Carter with cornerback unsolved.
Pick69
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They reached a country mile for Deone Walker at pick No. 69, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 77 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
JT Tuimoloau
They will replay JT Tuimoloau at No. 94 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Will Howard
By-the-book stuff, Will Howard at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
A slide stopped in pick 114, with Tez Johnson worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Majors at pick No. 144 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slid further than he should have, and the 179th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
They read the board right and Jack Nelson was the payoff at the 192nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217
Rnd7
Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in Round 7, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao at the 238th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Shemar James
Shemar James at Round 7, Pick 28 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
Value said wait; KJ Jefferson in pick No. 255 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
