The Browns turned the phones into found money: A-. Whoever sat across the table from the Browns should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Gordon II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick36
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
A quiet steal in pick 36: Malaki Starks for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
No edge and no loss on Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick67
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They let TreVeyon Henderson come to them and pounced at the 67th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at No. 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80
Rnd3
David Walker
They reached a country mile for David Walker at slot 80, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter slipping to pick No. 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94
Rnd3
Will Howard
Will Howard in the 94th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Fair-plus on Tez Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 111th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
Mitchell Evans
A premium they did not need to pay, Mitchell Evans a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Cooper in slot 179 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in Round 6, Pick 16, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200
Rnd6
CJ West
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ West at pick 200 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at No. 216 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
They liked Moliki Matavao enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 255. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
