Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Shough: A. Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Shough slide, and the Browns were the ones holding the card at pick No. 194. Highway robbery. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.
Reaching for Hancock left real value on the table behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In the end it comes back to Ashton Jeanty, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 15 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick100
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
A quiet steal in the 100th pick: Carson Schwesinger for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
A slide stopped in slot 103, with Gunnar Helm worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 119 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach Round 4, Pick 19 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Kyle McCord in the 154th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jordan Hancock
They talked themselves into Jordan Hancock at pick 165, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181
Rnd6
Darius Alexander
They barely believed it either: Darius Alexander still on the board at slot 181. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Shough at the 194th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202
Rnd6
Connor Colby
Circle this one: Connor Colby at pick No. 202 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Chase Lundt
Taking Chase Lundt in the 204th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 38 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in pick 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
