FutureB-
The Browns let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a C. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Browns, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
On value alone, Jones makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in slot 86 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Good price on Blake Fisher in the 106th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at Round 5, Pick 2 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in pick No. 144 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 146 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in No. 164; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
They did well to land Michael Barrett in pick No. 184, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick186
Rnd6
Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 11. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner is a better player than slot 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jalen Green
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Green at the 210th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
