The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Junior Tafuna; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 107 spots ahead at No. 234.
On value alone, Mickens makes the weekend a net positive. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
In the end it comes back to Emeka Egbuka, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick50
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 50th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick55
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at Round 2, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
The board had cheaper options than Barrett Carter at the 67th pick, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
A tidy little value on Mason Taylor in pick 82, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
A reach for Jalen Milroe in pick No. 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
They paid sticker price for Quinn Ewers in the 94th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 2 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at the 137th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Trevor Etienne
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Etienne at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at pick No. 192. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Shilo Sanders
They talked themselves into Shilo Sanders at No. 200, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216
Rnd6
Moliki Matavao
A big swing on Moliki Matavao at slot 216, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at Round 7, Pick 7 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234
Rnd7
Junior Tafuna
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Junior Tafuna well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255
Rnd7
R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in the 255th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
