FutureA-
The Browns kept it disciplined and banked a B. Nobody else had Thor Griffith anywhere near the 217th overall pick. The Browns did, by 81 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick 17 they get a disruptor off the edge, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to the 67th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in No. 68, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick81
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in slot 81 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Cody Simon
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cody Simon this early at the 94th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 103rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A quiet steal in No. 194: Jay Higgins for less than the market said. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224
Rnd7
Clay Webb
This one needs a full-page explanation: Clay Webb in slot 224, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257
Rnd7
Marcus Harris
They reached a country mile for Marcus Harris at Round 7, Pick 39, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
