Best value of the weekend goes to the Browns for Mullings: D. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kalel Mullings, the No. 42 name on the board, stolen at the 189th pick.
Reaching for Howard left real value on the table behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They went 9 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 8th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 35, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65
Rnd3
Logan Brown
No drama and no debate, Logan Brown went about where he belonged in pick 65. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jack Sawyer
They barely believed it either: Jack Sawyer still on the board at the 66th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 72 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 102 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at pick No. 109 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 129th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Will Howard
A wild overpay on Will Howard in pick 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189
Rnd6
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at No. 189 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
