FutureB-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D weekend for the Browns. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Browns did exactly that with Donovan Smith in slot 216.
Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Riley.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on Shedeur Sanders at No. 2, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick15
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 15th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in Round 2, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at pick No. 65 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in slot 67 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
They went early on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 89th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Nice patience on Barrett Carter, who had no business lasting to No. 94. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick103
Rnd4
Darien Porter
They will replay Darien Porter at the 103rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165
Rnd5
Ollie Gordon II
They paid a round early for Ollie Gordon II in Round 5, Pick 26, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in pick No. 181 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Connor Colby
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Connor Colby worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Sam Brown
They reached a country mile for Sam Brown at slot 202, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Donovan Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Smith this early at pick 216. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 217th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
