The Browns cashed the board's mistake on Ransom: B. The board owed the Browns one, and it paid up: Lathan Ransom, the No. 104 name on the board, sitting there at pick 178 like a gift left on the doorstep.
They are betting Griffith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Tyreek Hill gives the group a proven body among the projects. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 33 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at pick 67 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 93rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tez Johnson at the Round 4 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in slot 126 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick167
Rnd5
Connor Colby
No edge and no loss on Connor Colby in No. 167; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178
Rnd6
Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at Round 6, Pick 3. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the 191st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214
Rnd6
Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer in slot 214 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Elijah Arroyo
The board fumbled Elijah Arroyo all the way to pick 215, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
