The Browns fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Browns spent the 240th overall pick on Junior Tafuna, a name the board had a full 86 spots lower.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They banked enough surplus on Starks to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kenneth Grant and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They let Kenneth Grant come to them and pounced at the 33rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slid further than he should have, and pick 41 is lovely value for the safety. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Nothing to complain about; Jihaad Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick67
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at Round 3, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinshon Judkins at the 76th overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Will Howard
By-the-book stuff, Will Howard at slot 94 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 97 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
No edge and no loss on Cobee Bryant in the 121st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 1 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid up for Oronde Gadsden II at No. 179 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
No drama and no debate, Tyler Cooper went about where he belonged in the 192nd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jason Marshall Jr. in pick No. 200, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Moliki Matavao
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Moliki Matavao well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Corey Brooks at slot 233, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235
Rnd7
Shemar James
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shemar James. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240
Rnd7
Junior Tafuna
Junior Tafuna at Round 7, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in pick No. 255, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
