FutureA+
The phones sank the Browns this weekend: B-. 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 Steven Parker in No. 191. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
The Gabriel pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In No. 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They liked Aireontae Ersery enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 33. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick45
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
They took Kaleb Johnson at par in pick No. 45, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
They robbed the room for T.J. Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Milroe this early at Round 3, Pick 3. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
A tidy bit of business in slot 103, where Danny Stutsman graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116
Rnd4
Savion Williams
Steal is underselling it; Savion Williams at No. 116 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nohl Williams well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A conviction pick on Jaylen Reed at the 165th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick191
Rnd6
Steven Parker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Steven Parker in pick 191, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194
Rnd6
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 194th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Dillon Gabriel
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 207, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217
Rnd6
Zeek Biggers
They paid up for Zeek Biggers at pick No. 217 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at the 227th pick, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Smith in Round 7, Pick 32; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
They barely believed it either: Trevor Etienne still on the board at pick 257. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
