The Patriots let Castro fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. You build a draft on nights like this. Sebastian Castro had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 4, and the Patriots did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In No. 14 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that.
Pick38
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
They let Cameron Williams come to them and pounced at slot 38. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Royals in Round 3, Pick 5. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and the 77th pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in the 80th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at pick 143 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick217
Rnd7
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 217 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick220
Rnd7
Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 220th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
