FutureB
The Browns left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match. The rest of the league had time to spare on Barryn Sorrell; the Browns did not wait, grabbing him 71 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lacy. Everything downstream of Cam Ward depends on Cam Ward, and the building knows it.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 3rd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Armand Membou
No drama and no debate, Armand Membou went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 1. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Shavon Revel Jr. in slot 34. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick 67 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 94 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 97 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick103
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
No edge and no loss on Cam Skattebo in pick 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A reach on Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in pick No. 165 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick181
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 181st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194
Rnd6
Kyren Lacy
Steal is underselling it; Kyren Lacy at Round 6, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
They will replay Dorian Strong at the 202nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at No. 216 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
The board fumbled Luke Lachey all the way to slot 217, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
