James should have been long gone. The Patriots pounced, and earned a B. The Patriots did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jordan James fell into Round 7, Pick 22. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In pick No. 24 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick38
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 38 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 46th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick69
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 69 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Taking Tate Ratledge in slot 97 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at Round 4, Pick 3 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 116th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick143
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick No. 217 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Chase Lundt
You do not let an offensive lineman like Chase Lundt reach Round 7, Pick 4 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232
Rnd7
Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 232nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick238
Rnd7
Jordan James
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jordan James in No. 238, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
