FutureB+
The phones sank the Browns this weekend: D. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Browns shredded theirs for KJ Jefferson. He came off 114 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in No. 33. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
No edge and no loss on Jihaad Campbell in the 39th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick41
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 41st pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A conviction pick on TreVeyon Henderson at pick 44 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at pick No. 57 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 1 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Barrett Carter at linebacker with edge rusher open.
Pick72
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A reach for Deone Walker in pick No. 72; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A premium they did not need to pay, Andrew Mukuba a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Bond went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard at the 94th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in Round 3, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
The board had cheaper options than Denzel Burke at pick 104, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore slipping to slot 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Brown at pick 154 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Good price on Ollie Gordon II in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192
Rnd6
Addison West
They reached a country mile for Addison West at the 192nd pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jason Marshall Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204
Rnd6
Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in slot 204 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
They went early on Ja'Corey Brooks in the 216th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
Moliki Matavao at Round 7, Pick 3 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
They barely believed it either: Donovan Edwards still on the board at No. 225. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
A wild overpay on KJ Jefferson in No. 239, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Xzavier Henderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xzavier Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
